Tacho issue on '84 T/A

Hi all.
First time poster.

I have an '84 T/A right hand drive converted for here in Australia.
Im slowly starting to get to grips with it, but one thing that is annoying me right now is the Tacho. Its a 5.0l carby engine.

When I turn the ignition on, it twitches, but when the car fires up, it spins all the way round and sits there, going nowhere.

Obviously it is wired somewhere along the line, but has anyone got any ideas what I can do?

The tacho and oil pressure gauge are the only two not working.
Well, the speedo does, but it bounces around, but thats for another day!

Cheers all

Jono

Welcome to TGO. When the time comes for the speedo, the link below should be helpful:
