To install a tachometer first determine where the tachometer will be mounted on the dash column. Then, use a flathead screwdriver to tighten the clamp around the column of the tachometer mount. Next, put the two red "trigger" wires through the firewall and connect the other ends to the coil wires of the distributor. Wrap the tachometer wire around the ignition coil bolts. The remaining two wires must be wired into the ignition of the car. Insert them into the power terminal of the fuse box which permits the tachometer to operate when the engine is on.

Should have four wires: Positive, Ground, Light, and Tach. Put ground first! I made this mistake and took out all the lights in my dash. Hook the tach wire up to the male end on the distributor cap (you'll have to route it through the firewall). Hook the positive up to a nearby wire or open spot in your fuse box. I tapped off the radio. Hook the light into your panel instrument light circuit.
