Where to wire my Sunpro Tach too?

Post by Kenny727 » Wed Sep 23, 2015 12:13 am

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?

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?

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?
