Re: tach hookup (madvette74)
The red wire from the tach goes to the +pos. batt. terminal.
The black wire from the tach goes to the -neg. batt. terminal.
The blue wire (should be white) goes to the dash lights for lighting the tach.
The GREEN wire is the 'tach' wire & goes to the +pos. side of the COIL.
Hope that helps. There should only be 1 wire going to your coil.
**Please verify this information before Installation. ;)
Wire colors can vary between aftermarket tachs.....

Re: tach hookup (madvette74)
On a GM HEI Distributor, there are two external connections on the cap. One is for power and the other is for the Tach. Hook the green wire to the tach terminal on the distributor cap.
