Question Dash tach

Hello,

I just received a tach that I purchased off of eBay in the mail today. I was wondering about hooking it up. There are two wires coming out of the back of the tach. One marked '12V' and the other marked 'Coil'. Now, I have HEI on the truck so I'm thinking plug the 12V wire into the fuse box and the Coil wire onto the distributor where it's marked 'Tach'.

Am I correct?

Thanks in advance,

Sam

OKay then. Thanks guys.

I guess I've been around for awhile and just hadn't posted.

Thanks, busterwivell. I hooked it up, and it seemed to work. It just got hung up on something inside the gauge at about 2Grand, maybe I can take it apart and clean it and try again.
