Hi guys !!
I have some news ! So after you told me that there must be a tach wire on the distributor (its written tach in little on the plug on the left of the red wire), I looked for a loosen wire but I found nothing...

So I tried to hook a wire from the tach plug on the distributor directly to the bolt of the tach. It worked more or less : the needle moves depending on the throttle but stays very low ! (my idle is maybe 200 rpm, and maximum is 1000 rpm)...

SO I disconnected everything and I put back my tachometer in the cluster and retried, and it works back !! My tachometer now works like before with no wire hooked on the distributor !!! how is it possible ? can a tach wire be hooked to somewhere else than the distributor to get the RPM ?

thanks!
