I think that uses the same type of coil as the V8, you need to set the tach(cut wire, switch ect.,) for a 6 cyl(in tach instructions), run the wire for the engine to the white wire coming off the grey connector on the coil

after that , there are 3 other wires(not sure on colors), ground, key on power and dash lights(for this I tap the dash lights fuse, all I've done this on dim the tach light same as factory gauges)
