You need a 12volt power that turns on with ignition, parking light wire and a solid chassis ground. Oh, and a tach signal (usually blue at the distributor or blue single wire plug near passenger side underhood)

You need one to a power source. One to a ground on the chasis. Another wire to instrument cluster, if you want to do it the easy way, find your instrument cluster fuse in the fusebox and you can stick it in with the fuse, or else find the wire that runs to the fuse and splice it (that's what I did). Then the last one goes to your distrubuter. And, if I remember correctly, the color of the wire is the green one with and white stripe. I'll check mine in a few to make sure.

That mashing wires into fuse boxes is not good. Causes arching, possible fires. What car? Ill tell you all the colors.

Ignition is black/yellow stripe at column
lights are red/black stripe at fuse box
tach is blue at distributor
