AM has an install PDF on their website.

The signal wire goes to the neg side of the ignition coil or the side of the MSD ignition box (if applicable).
The rest of the wires are self explanatory.

Good luck.

not to hi-jack the thread, but what's the difference between autometer and autogauge, besides the face of the gauges? i know autometer makes autogauge, but do you just pay more $$ for the name?

Seems to me that Autometer is just the upscale version. Kinda like Toyota and Lexus.

Someone else can probably tell you the exact color, if it was not mentioned already. YOu might see a + and - sign on the coil terminals. Or use your test light to find the neg side.

Good luck.
