Gary and Friends:
I just had a good discussion with Peter Bayer who owns Nisonger =
Corporation and who modifies the tachs.
Peter explained the entire circuitry to me and I will only summarize in =
words, then please view the attached file from Nisonger.
The summary is:
a.. Keep the loop on the back of the tach intact. Do NOT remove nor =
disconnect. This SHOULD therefore provide 12 volt power to the ballast =
resistor=20
b.. Route a wire from the female spade terminal at back of the updated =
tach TO the negative side of the ignition coil which has been equipped =
with the Pertronix system.
=20
I=E2=80=99ve attached the instructions from Nisonger for you to follow.
=20
Peter Bayer is a smart and helpful person and is quite willing to =
receive a call from Gary and walk Gary through the instructions.
I think once Gary talks with Peter while reading the attached =
instructions that all will be good.
Peter Bayer=E2=80=99s number is (914) 381-3600
Please let me know how it goes.=20

remember that TigersUnited.com is not dead, and among other resources it =
has a complete scan of the Tiger Workshop Manual, including good =
re-digitized drawings of the wiring diagram.
http://www.tigersunited.com/resources/wsm/tt-images/MKIBIGwiring.jpg
=20
So, with respect to that drawing:
- Your tach should be powered through the spade connector on the back of =
the tach. That should be connected to a green wire that is energized =
only when the ignition is on or in the start position.
- Your tach should be grounded through the black daisy-chain wires that =
need to be connected to the dash frame somewhere (not just gauge to =
gauge to gauge).
- The OEM wiring has the coil power run through a white wire, looped =
through the transformer U-shaped metal piece and plastic frame that is =
mounted on the back of the tach. It kind of sounds like the Nissonger =
rebuild gave you an alternate means of sensing the ignition with their =
white "signal in" line. You should have got a wiring diagram with the =
tach, if they changed the way it can be wired up.
- That OEM white wire needs to connect to one end of the ballast =
resistor as shown in the wiring diagram (and the other end plugs into =
the ignition switch, not the tach). It supplies power to the coil =
through the ballast resistor when the car is running.
- The white/blue wire runs from the solenoid to the ballast resistor to =
the coil positive.
=20
It sounds like you need to make sure that the white wire you plugged =
into the tach, is connected to the ballast resistor at the other end. If =
so, unplug the tach end, loop it through the transformer block, and plug =
it into the #2 terminal on the ignition switch.
=20
If the tach works properly, then you're good. If it does not, then try =
looping the white wire through the transformer block in the opposite =
direction. If that still fails (but the engine runs properly), then =
abandon the transformer and use Nissonger's signal wire. As Gary says, =
that wire should be connected using a new extension wire to the coil =
negative terminal ( where the points connect ).
=20
=20
Good luck,
Theo

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.
