Red - Power (Any power source in your fuse pannel that will shut off when the car is turned off. Maybe cigarette lighter?)


Green - Blue wire off of the distributor. (It carries the RPM signal. There also might be another blue wire capped off next to your brake fluid canister, depending on what year and model you have. That will carry the signal also.)

Look for the wires coming off of the bottom of the dist. There is a dark blue one, thats your wire. Even with a swapped whatever, the dist wires should all still be the same.

try to see if you have a yellow wire with a green stripe, hook the green up to that. its by the distributor

and you can hook up the red to an empty slot in the underdash fuse box

of coarse he is installing this inside of the car, why send him to the distributor when the wire is already at the harness behind the cluster. why not send him there where accessing and wiring it would be easier and probably neater.
