I am not familiar with the 85 tach. What's the difference between the 3 prong and 2 prong tachs? The soldering I did was to provide switched power to the EGR computer/tach which I doctored up. You can do a little trouble shooting with a DVM. Check that you have 12V power and ground to the tach amp and the tach. If not, fix that first. Then put the DVM on low ac scale and measure the output of the tach amp with engine idling. You should see a voltage there (maybe about 100 mv). If you rev the engine, the voltage should go up. If it goes up, that's an idication the pickup and tach amp is working. Now you want to check that the tach amp output is getting to the tach so check for the output from the tach amp at the tach, you should see the same there. If you have signal at the tach and it has power and it is not burned out it should work.
