New Tach
I oredered a new tach from classic chevy and i am planning to install this weekend. I also ordered a the Tach Filter in which is recommended by Classic parts. The directions are very vague, it says red wire to negative side of coil- yellow to tach sidnal post and black to ground. So i would hook it up in line of regular hook up or with the regular hook up. Please be patient with me as i have a hard time understanding electrical.

Re: New Tach
Would have to be in line....the factory tachs were self grounding, and you only hooked up to the negative side of the coil, another (+) wire for the light
