Distributor Tach connector

Hey, i am trying to get my original tach hooked back up (there was one on the hood and i hate the ones you stick on your dash, unless its a drag car) and the previous owner cut the connector that goes into the distributor. I was hoping that someone would take a run out and take a picture of their connector so i know what it looks like so i can either buy a new one or find that one in the bundle of un-used harness mess that he left behind when he swapped in a 350 4 bolt. It would be much appreciated. Thanks!!

Re: Distributor Tach connector

To just get it hooked up and functioning, all you need is a female spade or female flat blade connector. The proper connection looks very similar to the one that is an ignition power source, the only other wire all alone in its own connector.

Summit isn't the only source. Lots of parts store chains carry Pico pigtails.
