Tach not working

I just bought a 1985.5 Porsche 944 and the tach is not working. Anyone have any suggestions as to where to start looking.

I believe that the problem is electrical. I have tried to trace down the wiring from diagrams without any luck. I have tried hitting the tach without any luck. I do know that the engine has been changed from a 1985.5 to a 1989. could there be a difference in the engines.
