Default autometer 5" tach purple wire?

Hello

About 4 years ago I got one of these:



and I just sold it. I remember hooking all the wires up but the purple one, does anyone know what it is for? I also remember cutting the loop corresponding to the correct cylinder number.

here is the instructions on Autometer

Im just trying to be as informative as possible to my buyer

I don't recall seeing a purple wire on mine. The blue wire is for the tach signal.

Yeh I remember cutting the loop and pushing it back into the body.

What should the purple wire be connected to? I dont remember the lights dimming on the tach, but I dunno
