Default Aftermarket tach wiring

Ok, so I bought a Sunpro tach from AutoZone. Its got a 4 wire hook-up, power, ground, illumination, and RPM signal. Got everything wired up, it get power, but no RPM needle swinging activities. I wired it to the Blue RPM signal on the dizzy, but it didnt work...any suggestions? The tach could be ---- to...It did come from AutoZone.
