    If you have a GM HEI ignition, look at the distributer cap, there is a TACH terminal next to the BAT terminal. It takes a female spade connector from the underside. If you have a separate coil from the distributer, connect the tach lead to the -, negative side, of the coil.
    It is not an hei ignition.It is a gm though.454 chevy engine.


    I believe he did answer you " if you have a separate coil from the distributor, connect the tach lead to the neg side of the coil."
    Sorry my bad.I did not read the entire post.
