the 74 had a mechanical Tach with a drive cable.I am changing it over to an electric Tach because I had to change my distributor to HEI.Therefore I need to run all the wires since there is no wiring for it.now that I know what the wires come from what terminals do they go to on the back of the Tach.The terminals arew layed out like this.
