Now I've got a question about igniton. Yeah, rare I know. On the GSL-SE I've been dinking around with for the past couple of weeks, it has two wires on the trailing coil's negative terminal. One is the standard wire that goes over to the ignitor. The other is what appears to be a coaxial cable or some sort of shielded cable. I assume this is for the N304 ECU. Or is it for the tach?
I got this car as a rolling shell without an engine harness so I've had to play the probing game to find the dash gauge wires. So far I've successfully gotten them all to react except for the tach, which I haven't tried yet. Is there an easy way to test it?
Oh also since this is an 84-85 chassis, I assume it has to annoying fuel pump relay under the dash that inhibits the fuel pump unless it sees a tach signal ie the trailing ignitor has to be working. Well, I'm doing a MegaSquirt and a custom ignition with custom fuel pump wiring so the stupid relay probably isn't important. Anyway I just need to know where the tach wire is in the ignition harness before I have to probe some more. I'd rather leave all the factory black tape stuff intact because common electrical tape tends to go bad after a few years.

Longhammer, here's the Rockauto page on coils for an 85 GSL
