Hi Jim
I thought I'd chime in here as the 'green' wire might be confusing... I say
that because the existing 'green' wire that went to the original tach is 12v
! As you know there is no
color code on the back of the Autometer tach... only neg., 12v. and ign.
Terminals... What I did was tie in the Autometer neg. terminal and also the
black pigtail from the light to
the gauge grounds... and used the existing green wire from the harness to
the 12v. terminal. You need to then run a 'NEW' wire ( I used an orange one
) from the ign. Terminal to
either the coil ( - ) terminal or an MSD tach terminal as Theo says...
Hope that helps...

PS If you know of anyone wanting another one of those tachs.. I have one
with a 6k redline assembled.. and all the parts and face for a 7k redline
one...

If it's proper Autometer internal guts then you connect the green tach wire
to
the coil negative terminal (the one that connects to the breaker points,
Pertronix black, etc.)
If you're using an MSD then connect the green wire to the MSD's tach output
terminal.
Cheers,
Theo
