beerhead Posted November 8, 2008 Report Share Posted November 8, 2008 The tacho feed goes to the negative side of the coil (black wire). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shauns ke30 Posted November 8, 2008 Report Share Posted November 8, 2008 (edited) 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 Edited November 8, 2008 by shauns ke30 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jono.B Posted November 13, 2008 Report Share Posted November 13, 2008 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.
