Hi all I am wondering if somone can help
before I took out the triple gauges out of my car (actually I think it was before I took out the 998 and put in the 1275) the Tachometer worked .... Now since I have had had the gauges out I have a green wire that disappears into the abyss of harness - can anyone tell me where this wire would go to I want to get the gauges working before I put in the new dash.

Jack Read said that there should be a white wire that splits to plug into the tacho - (which I have found a white loop) but when I open that loop the car will not start .....

Anyone got any ideas???
Cheers Gerard

Other than the main wire plug the only other cable should be a white with black stripe that connects to the tacho.

(I changed the coil in the upgrade to a pulsar dizzy - any ideas whether positive or negative???)
