Default replaced valley cover, now no Tach?

I've been out of the game for awhile, but i just finished replacing my valley cover with the LS6+catch can setup. I also pulled off the valve covers to replace my valve springs with the BTR 660 setup.

I got everything buttoned back up and now I have no reading on my tach. all the other gauges are working fine, but i must have missed something somewhere. Where do i need to start looking? i can find any missing connections unless i forgot something behind the intake.

Do you guys have any suggestions on good places to start?

Did you unplug the cam sensor while you were in there ?

Or possibly broke a wire for that harness during install. Maybe forgot a ground back there or something?

CPS was my first thought too.

Thanks guys.

I pulled the intake back out to take a look and sure enough, the cam sensor was connected, but the wires had gotten pinched under the intake during the reinstall and were cut.

Reconnected and weather proofed, now we are set.
