I tried it on the cheap, and stuck the ends of the resistor in the diagnostic box. The tach needle did move about a millimeter when the key went to 'ON' position, then nothing when running.
I am about 95% sure that the ends of the resistor were touching the contact points in the d-box. Should I go ahead and try to do it properly, or does this suggest something else?

so this may be a really dumb question... but i plan on finally getting around to installing the MS braineack built for me a while ago .. and i don't know how to tell if i have a 1995 or 1995.5..... where or how do i check for 3 or 4 wires in the coil connectors .. rather .. where are the coil connectors?

The coilpack is what your plug wires fit onto. there should be two connectors coming off the back of it and plugged in somewhere behind the fuel rail. See if there are 3 or 4 wire going into each connector.
To prevent this in the future I'm simply building the tach circuit on each MS I build, since the circuit itself requires the pull-up, there will be no need for adding the resistor and if you have a 95.5-97, you can turn on the tach output in software.
