factory tach + points distributer?

Hi out there, I have a 91' bird, that was a v6 car that I have swapped out for a traditional pontiac 400. I purchased a cluster out of an 89' GTA, and swapped that, so I have the v8 tach, and the 140 speedo. So far I have all the gauges working properly except the tach and speedo. The speedo I just haven't gotten to yet, that's one of tomorrows projects. My real ? is about the tach,, I am running a stock (stock for the motor not the car) points distributer, and wondered if that factory tach will work correctly, or be able to read it?? I hooked the white tach wire to the tach side of the coil and it didn't seem to work,, is there something more I need?? or do I have to change my ignition?? I hope someone out there can help me out,, It will be much appreciated,, and thanks to everyone out there on thirdgen for all the help already.. thanks
