Tachometer no longer working
Let me first give the "fun" back story as to how my Tach stopped.
Wednesday night, driving home from work, the alternator belt broke. I found out when the the whole engine "died". I pulled off to the side of the road, popped the hood and went:
"Woah... the distributor cap came off, that explains why it died... WOAH, the distributor/ignition rotor is broken... WOAH... the alternator belt is broken."
So needless to say I had it towed home.
I put a new rotor, distributor cap, and belts on. The car fires up fine but now there's no response from the tach what-so-ever.
Any suggestions?

Thanks for the help. The problem ending up being that the tach cable had fallen off the trailing ignition. I found it this morning in the light. Working on cars during the day is SOOOooo much easier, than with a flashlight at night.
