You sure about that? The EGR-computer cars have 144 pulses per revolution of the engine from counting flywheel teeth vs the single pulse of the crank damper pin of the non EGR-computer cars.

Let's not confuse mechanical similarity of the gauge connector with electrical compatibility. A 6 cylinder gas tach from a 126 looks identical to the 6 cylinder diesel tach and even uses the same plug, but they cannot interchange due to the frequency of the engine RPM pulse they receive.
