Had a new one installed about 150 miles ago runs great . Yesterday the tack went dead . Looked at distributor and the tack wire was hanging , its about 8 inches long and at the end was a little bead of old solder . Cant see were it was connected to , can some one tell me what to connect it to . Im probably just going blind .

The tach filter maybe. It looks like a condenser and attaches to one end. You maybe able to re-solder it as I had to do a few years back.
