Autometer Monster Tack install ?

Ok I have a way ricey tack but thought I would need it since I might rev past 9k on my new motor.

Thiers a green wire that goes to - coil but wich coil ? leading or trailing ?

And thiers 2 stupid hot wires to hook up. I red and a white. One is ignition and the other is like the cigerete lighter but myine doesent work. So what else can I hook that up to ? I mean ignition + and battery + seem the same to me

Connect the wire to the rear coil, or at the back of the stock tach, or at the ecu. Set it for a 4 cylinder. And ignition + and battery + are different. Battery + is constant, ignition is switched.

Dunno. Maybe you do set it to 6? I just figured 4 plugs = 4 cyl

Theres a wire that comes off the leading coil thats a female connector thing. just crimp a male end on your green tach wire and plug in. The white wire i think is for illumination. Set the tach for 4

I've installed a warning light on my car because the buzzer doesnt work anymore

I think one coil source you have it set for 4 cylinder (I think its front) and for 6 and or 8 cylinder on the rear coils.

You set it for 4-cyl whether you connect to the leading or trailing coil. The trailing coil is a lot closer though.
