Tachometer Quit Working

Hi all,

Trying to get everything dialed in, just finished a rebuild on my '82 RX-7 and while I had it running (sort of) the tachometer suddenly quit working.
Anyone know where I can start diagnosing what might have gone wrong?

First see if you have trailing spark, tach gets its signal from there.
No trailing spark is usually a blown ignitor.
