Hi. If its an autometer tach adaptor you cut the 12 volt feed wire to all coils (red/green) where the loom from the engine comes over to the body. From memory the car side goes to the red wire on the adaptor and the red black from the adaptor goes to the coils. Cheers MD

Hi. You CUT the factory wire going to the coils and run one side to the adaptor then the other wire from the adaptor goes to the engine side of that wire. Red to the side that becomes live when the key is on, red/green to the engine side, black to earth and gray to the tach. Cheers MD
