Ohm out the YELLOW/BLUE wire at the Trail coil assy TO the back of the combination meter. If it ohms out, then you have a combination meter problem.
This is assuming that you already made sure the TRAIL coil plugs are firing. If they are not, then forget about ohming the YELLOW/BLUE wire out and find out why the TRAIL coil assy is not firing.

A RX-7 will run just fine up from idle to redline with no Trail coil assy.
If the Trail coil assy is not working, it follows that the tachometer will not work. The tach signal is picked off the trail coil assy (if memory serves).

The signal wire is colored YELLOW with a BLUE stripe on it. It can be found at the Trail coil plug.
Idle the car and while the car is idling, gently pull one of the two sparkplug wires out of the Trail coil. Just pull it out of the bore a sixteenth of and inch or so and tell us if the sparking isn't happening b/t the wire and the bore.

main relay
make sure that you afm is connected and the check your main relay and make sure its bolted on the car, you may want to get another on and try it.
i had the same problem, the car worked fine and the rpm would not work, and i found out that the main relay was loose.
so i hope that helps you

I hooked up battery backwards and I had a blown meter fuse. I replaced that and my car runs, and all the meter gauges work except for the tachometer. I measured the resistance on the trailing coils and they were both good. Using a voltmeter could I try measuring a voltage at the trailing coil tach hook-up and if I don't get anything that means there is a problem with the igniter or something and possible not the tachometer?
