Re: wiring up tachometer (SleepnCiViC)
green wire- goes to your dizzy (the blue wire)
black wire- is ground
white wire- goes to your parking light switch
red wire- goes to your ignition (the big fat white wire)
hope this helps

no, the wire for the distributor is in the plug it will be blue wire the only blue wire in the plug, its next the the black and yellow wire. and the ignition wire is in the steering column, its the big white wire that goes to the back of the place where your key goes in your ignition.and sorry i really cant remember what color or which wire for the lights.

Please go out and buy some real wire. I would not reccomend speaker wire for this.

You could wire together the red and white wires together and wire them up to the fuse box, to the intruments, just an advice, it could make your wiring easier :-) what i did to mines
