Default Help!! Header install tach not working?

I removed my hooker long tubes to put it back to stock for now tell i get some kooks. I reoved the K member at the same time to drop the headers out the bottom. When i put it back on i installed a BMR k member. But my tach does not work at all. I wne to the computer with car running with meter and the tach wire has not signal. So it is before computer.

Wires un pluged
Alternator
starter
Cam timing sensor
Oil level
ABS on both sides
Both oxygen sensors

I did not touch any grounds or anything battery was unhooked when doing work. Where does your tach read from?
Car still shifts fine at full throttle. Car runs perfect the tach just does not work. checked all the fuses not blown.

Same thing happened me when I put my linelock on. I knocked a wire off the bottom of the fuse box, the one on the driver side front corner. Cant remeber what wire, also might want to look at the wire loom that runs down by the trans.

Hey white98z how hard would the install of the bmr K-member have been if you had left your Hooker LT's in. I have those and was curios about that K-member as well.
