RPM input to the cluster
I know this wouldnt be the best way to test if my tach is way off, but I really want to figure out if I have a high idle of 1100 RPM'*, or if the tach is just off. Would it be possible to get a volt reading in the wire to the Tach and compare it to someone elses at closed loop idle? I dont have the money right now to get an RPM multimeter, or buy a tach at a junkyard. Thoughts, opinions, offers to help?

I remember this from a good while back... I'm pretty sure you don't have high idle... I'd be more than happy to check for you... But I'm a little far off..
I think the best method would be scantool

well, i dont need to drive the next two days so I started trying to get the harness at the gauge cluster off, and I failed horribly. I Have the cluster loose, except for the wiring harness. Is there screws on the inside holding the black connecter on? I dont want to rip the wires or break anything.

I confirmed it with math. Calculate your engine RPM from your speed, making sure to take your slip into account if you're in OD. I had the I/P apart for some reason and had to confirm everything as I put it back together.
