Default Tachometer issue

I just bought a new tach board for 82 vette. when I start car needle jumps to zero. however after I rev a little is stays on 5000-6000. I pulled out needle and tried to reset to zero while ignition was turned to position right before start. I was told this was simple fix for beginner like me. New board was bought thru willcox, it is calibrated already.
thanks
Dan

Willcox will probably show up here soon, or you can just call them. Their customer service is the best.
