That's a different model to mine but I would guess the S is the one that goes to the Sender (-ve coil). Did all 4 wires come with it? Mine came with a diode they recommend connecting between the coil and gauge if you have points ignition.

Here's the original thread - http://www.ausmini.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=23340&highlight=speco

you little basterd why didnt i type in speco,

yeah the 4 wires came with it but the white wire is the one that puzzles me, it doesnt go anywhere and am i ment to connect it up to that wire that might be the ground

Repco and Autobarn sell these. I would have throught the wiring would be as normal as all aftermarket tachos?
Green: Neg Coil. Red: 12v Acc. Black: GND. White: Lighting

i bought them from reckless motor sport on ebay, he is the cheapest i found and i reckon the reason why you only see the 150 dolllar pro series and the normall you have to ask for is to trap the riceneers

all up, i got thacho, water temp, oil temp, fuel level, amps, all up was around 200, with p&h

I had a look at the eBay store. Its great, his prices are awesome. I was thinking about getting a Smiths tacho (I know there not real good but I was after the classic look to match in) but I will be buying one from Reckless Motor Sport at that price!

so to sum it up the white wirw goes onto the outside of the fuse for the lights, then you gage light is protected, or the llight switch on the side that goes to the lights not the incoming positiive?
