Default mfi clocks in efi car

Hi guys i know this has been discussed many times but not the problems im having, here goes.
I fitted an efi wiring loom in my car along with efi fuel tank ect as im running ofam but im still using mfi clocks, problem is my fuel gauge reads full all the time and im not getting any ignition lights so im leaning to the fact the clocks are more differant than i first thought, does anyone know if im correct in thinking this?

Try a set of efi clocks and see what you've got.

its just the rev counter that wont work. ive gone through 3 sets of clocks finally got an efi set no idea what the temp is doing as i think the needle is getting stuck on the flaking dial face, how ever the petrol is all over the place goes up when you brake down when stop. however i now know what revs its doing

Hi guys, the OFAM has a tacho output also which can drive MFI clocks directly with a few easy to get parts. Feel free to PM me for details.

Rob,
