I believe only '85 w123's had the extra electrical stuff in the passenger kick panel. Yours is '84 so I would start looking else where.

Are you sure the tach amp was originally not there, or was just removed? Got any photos of the area where it should be?

I am going to take another close look at the tach pickup to make sure the magnet is still on there. I finally spotted the magnet that is on the (fly?)wheel.
The tach pick up is on the harmonic balancer in front. It's a gray cord, 0.5cm wide approximately, and runs up to the back of the glow plug relay area where it should plug into the tach sender.
