Hi, Charles --
If you'll send me your fax number or mailing address, I'll send you a copy
of the wiring diagram.
The white wire with black tracer (white/black) should run from the negative
side of the coil to the tachometer, and plug into the back of the tach with
a cylindrical rubber connector. You should also have a single connector
with two green wires coming out of it that connects to the spade terminal on
the back of the tach. The tach also has a panel light bulb with a red/white
wire connected to it. A ring terminal connector with several black wires
(ground wires) should be attached to one of the tach attachment brackets
under the knurled bracket nut.
The yellow wire and the 2-inch square gizmo are not part of the stock
installation.
