Your tach input wire needs to go to the PRIMARY of the coil.

The tach wire goes from the PRIMARY non-key side of the coil, to the firewall connector, to the dash connector, to the tach.

It’s a
White wire wire.

If the original is still there it’s a WHITE wire.



Speedo:

Find out if the 5speed is putting out a speed signal.

You can use an audio amp for that.

From there it connects to the Buffer Box located behind the instrument panel at the right.

You can use a GPS to find out if the speedo is accurate.


Happy Racing !
