I bought the TFI wiring harness for this Mallory ignition box but i can’t seem to figure out how to wire it to tachometer "yellow wire", I’ve been looking in a Haynes manual for 2 hours can seem to figure it out......

Year of stang?

What is the information source for the tachometer yellow wire? Most of the vehicle wiring has a primary color and a trace color.

1993, i was going off of the instructions that came with the mallory box...i was doing a lot of research today and some people are saying one of the wires going into the coil is the tachometer wire or serves the same purpose.

A better way to phrase it is that the wire on the negative side of the coil can be used as a signal source for a tachometer.

What are each of your sources for the given wires? Did you do the prestart checklist and troubleshooting checklist in the instructions? We don't know anything about your set-up or installation to be able to offer any advice.
