The tacho feed goes to the negative side of the coil (black wire).

Hay mate just done mine today.

I have 5in autogage by autometer and hear is the wiring diagram for it.

 

1. white. wire to 12v dash lightling.

2. red. wire to 12v ignition switch (+).

3. black. wire to (-) on the battery or good engine ground.

4. green. wire to (-) on the coil.

 

O and if this isnt it try and google it or go to the manafacture's web site.

Sorry about the spelling and i hope this help's and hope its the same as your

cheers

Yeah all you need is to get a good earth on the car, and then the other wire left over goes to the negative (-) of the coil. :y:

just for simplicity and my race spec look I have one ground wire and one positiive wire running from my battery to multiple out terminals in the cabin, then I hardwire my accessories and get to use switches, in the past though I just grounded things to bolts inside the car or in the fireall..BIG bolts.
