With an alternator you have to convert the tach to negative ground.
Open it up switch the resistor and the wire that goes to the terminal.
(unsolder each, switch them, resolder)
Also you have to cut the loop in the harness that screws to the back of
the tach, flip the loop and solder it back together.
Use 2 different color tapes to mark  the loop because 1 slip and you
forget what side of the white wire went where.
