Default Bad Tachometer reading

Do tach's in 92 Rs' go bad? Mine is reading way to high, what could the cause be?

My tach reads about right at idle but the higher the rpms are the father off it is. I know my problem is that my 1992 rs was a 3.1 v6 and now i converted it to a carbed 350. It sounds like this is also your issue. I think there are ways to correct it by changing resistors but I just bought an aftermarket tach. Hope this helps you out!

It's very common among the 90-92 models. Even my 91 read double, and a used replacement was the same, so I just left it and adjusted in my head.
