Re: Testing a tach
I have done similar stuff on a newer cluster. I believe mine was a brown wire as well. I went to the junkyard grabbed the connector, hacked it up, tied all the power wires together and all the grounds together and hooked those up to the battery.
The tach gets hooked up to the negative terminal of the coil and wired directly into the cluster. In the diagram below, green is the signal wire.
