tach help
« on: September 07, 2005, 10:16:38 AM »
Installing an aftermarket tach on my 1990 samurai. Which side is the negative side on the coil? any help is appreciated. I need to know where to hook up the green wire coming off the tach.

Take the cover off the coil and
look at the connections, one will
have a - sign and one will have
a + then you just hook it up

This is not the old style round type coil. It is square,has the wire coming from the distributor and a plug in with two wires on it from the main wiring harness.

Maybe I'm too simple for this stuff but can't you just hook up a multi meter or something of that kind?

Don't have a meter  but in case anyone else needs to know in the future,the green wire from the tach goes to the noise suppressor. It has a brown a black and a brown with white wire. The wire from the tach attaches to the brown wire.
