the fsm says this:

METER fuse: probably not that bc the other gauges are working

Faulty Tachometer, check or replace. Page 18 here.

Faulty wiring, repair as necesary. Page 21 here.

Is this why your car can run fine with the tach dead, because your trailing is broken? And leading is all that is needed to run?

if you replaced the coils then its not that.

just buy a new cluster on ebay for 20 dollars. a small penny to see if thats it. rather then spending money on more stuff.
