Default 75' to 77' Tach wires colors?

Iv'e found out the three colors of wires that go to my tach. They are Black, Brown, and Pink. I just need to know their function. I'm assuming the black is my ground. An edjucated guess tells me the Pink is the ignition on wire, and finally the brown is the wire receiving signal. Is this correct? Thanks for the help.

You are correct. Black is ground. Pink comes from the fuse block 10 amp marked GAGES which is tied to the ignition switch IGN-1. Brown comes from the distributor.
