what do you mean you put it through the intake? did you use the brake booster line coming off the intake mani?
is the wire clicking down all the way on the plug?

your tach goes crazy? check your grounds. mainly the one on the thermostat. make sure they are all getting a good connection. the tach wont just go crazy unless something electrical is causing the problem. sounds like my brothers hatch. did the same thing. the ground on the T-stat wasnt tightened down all the way.

If it sounds like it's running on 3 cylinders and you just ran some seafoam in them. You probably have fouled the spark plug... try replacing the spark plugs and go from there.
