The Signal wire should probably wire to
the points or low side of the coil.
The white wire should not end at the tach
but would do a one loop through the coil
pickup on the back of the stock tach and
then run to the ballast.
You do need 12v to the back of the tach
spade terminal and a ground.

As soon as you release the key that temporary 12 volts is disconnected and t=

Temporarily add an alligator jumper across the two tabs on the resistor and s=
