I just picked up a factory CJ tach, and Im trying to test it out on my FORD truck, it has the same duraspark ignition..

there are 2 red wires coming from teh tack with connectors, one male, the other female..

does any one know where this hook up in relation to the coil?

thanks

ok, tonight I finally had time to mess with the tach in my FORD truck ( 300 inline 6 cyl, duraspark)

one wire to the red coil wire, and the other wire to the battery produced the correct RPM reading on the tach.

sorry i dont remember which red wire on teh tach was which, its really simple, i just uesed the test leads from a VOM..

thanks for the help earlier guys!, maybe somebody somewhere can benifit from this
