Hey guys,

I am going through the wiring on my 79 and trying to get things squared away from the previous owners hodge podge under the hood. I was wondering if anyone might be able to tell me if the tachometer wire for the stock gauge goes to the positive or negative terminal of the ignition coil. Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks,
Andrew

Thats what I thought but I wasn't sure. I'm just wanting to get back to the stock wiring on this thing. Thanks for confirming that for me.
