Tach wiring?
I'd like to put a tach on my 390 but I'm not sure how to wire it. I'm accustomed to just attaching the wire to the tach port on the dizzy cap. Obviously my 69 don't have that with the standard dizzy. Where do I put the wire for the tach? I was thinking to the coil where the dizzy wire is attached to it??? Can anyone tell me??

Re: Tach wiring?
If it's fuel injected, then hook it up to the coil
If it's carb, then hook it up to the distributor
