Where to wire my Sunpro Tach too?

I have my sunpro tach all wired up except for the wire to read the RPMS..
Now I hear your supposed to use the negative terminal from my coil, but that is not working...

What wire from my module, coil, or distributor should I splice into to get a reading?
If it is the negative coil terminal what else can I try to troubleshoot it?

Dang I'm not getting anything. Ill try it again just to be sure, but could it be the tach?
The lights work.. I can set the RPM shift light..

Can I use the wire from behind the Stock tach? IF so what wire would that be?
IS there a fuse the could have been blown inside the tach?
does the gauge of the wire really matter since its just going to the negative?

Those tach are universal did you set the correct cyl 4 ?
And the NEG ciol for the reading of the rmp ?

Yes its on 4.. I get no reading in any settting.
And yes it goes directly to the negative side of the coil?
Can I hook it up of the distributor or something?

Now I was short on wire and used a remote amp wire would that be a problem?

I have it wired:
Black to Ground
Red to Switched power
White to Switched power (Keep the light on)
Green to negative on coil

The - on the coil only has the green wire, and black from the ignitor.

Tomorrow I will use my multi meter
Negative to green wire
positive to red wire
If that shows voltage does it mean its my tach?
