Hey Guys. I am looking to purchase this Dixco tach. I have a couple of questions.

What is the model number of this tach?

What year did the tach come out? Or Did it come out Early 70's or Late 70's?

Also I know it is a 4 wire tach. Could anyone tell me what the 4 wires connect to?

Thanks very much,

-Dave

Correct me if I'm forgetting which color wires this tach had. From memory four wires being; black (- ground), red (+12v keyed), yellow (+12v switched from dash lights; street racers typically wired this in with the red) and green (trigger - side of coil).

That tach will only work on a points distributor. You'll need the MSD adapter if you're running a CD ignition.

Sounds correct to me on the wire hook up. http://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/3gears.gif
