I have just finished installing megasquirt on my 4G63-T and the revcounter does not get any signal. Where does the rev gauges normal get the signal?

the negative side of the coil is traditionally where you get the tach signal. there may be a better place specific to our cars, hopefully someone will chime in withe answer.

The ECU gets it RPM data from the CAS signals. It also gets a ignition pulse from the coil pack (pre-91) or the power transistor (91+) that is also used to drive the factory tach.

The ECU has it's tach signal but my revcounter in the dashboard does not get any signal - where should I connect my wire on the engine?
As SteveP above said, it depends whether you have the 1990-style coilpack and transistor, or the 1991+ style. The newer, 7-pin transistor has an extra "TAC" connection that pulls to ground everytime a coil fires. The 1990-style has a separate "TACH DRIVER" module attached to the coilpack that pulls the line to +12 volts everytime a coil fires. The ECU rpm signal is derived from the CAS signals, not the tach pulses.
