Default Tach Filter Question...Another One!

My 75 does not have a tach filter. I just got one from Rodney Dickman. I know it goes in-line between the distributor and the tach, but which wire? There are two wires coming from the distributor:

Brown - approximately 14 gauge
Pink (or red) - approximately 8 or 10 gauge

My wiring diagram on the car doesn't show this filter.

Anybody know which wire the tach filter goes in-line with?

Brown one. If you look carefully at the HEI cap it goes to the "tach" terminal. It can be hard to see. The red wire is 12V +

Sorry in advance if this is really obvious, but make sure the filter's grounded or it'll will do absolutely nothing in the way of "filtering"!
If it's one of the repro ones, then it just grounds via the mounting tab.
