I have an 89 but I think the gears are the same and I cruise 60 at about 2150 rpm or so. hope this helps

 

It should be NEXT TO IMPOSSIBLE for your tach to ever screw up.
It's electric. It reads an electric signal. THE ONLY WAY it can honestly screw up is the source of the signal. Or you bent the needle.
Bad worn wires are a prime source. Have you removed your instrument panel lately? That may jar connection, too.

 

Mine Idles around 850ish... 50 2500 ish.. others I put in the other thread.

 

I idle at about 750 to 800 at normal operating temp. The only thing I can remember in 5th is if I am going 45 mph than the tach is at 1500 rpms. Sorry I'm not much help.
