I have a meter that has tach and dwell settings. Its been a long time,so where to I hook up the leads on the motor to use the tach and the dwell. I think I remember it goes to one side of the coil and then to ground for tach and then across the coil for dwell?? I can't remember...------------------ Bill M Mystic,CT 65 Convertible 9"rear,5speed ,11"clutch,currently powered by a 302

Bill, Wow...blast from the past! Had to go find the instructions to my dwell/tach meter. Connect it to the distributor side of the coil.

Red (usually) will go to the distributor or negative side of the coil and black to ground.------------------ Alex Denysenko Co-Administrator and Moderator NHRA/SRA member and licensed Superstock driver NHRA and IHRA SS/LA & SS/MA National Record Holder '00,'01,'02,'03,'04 &'05 First NHRA & IHRA 289 automatic Superstock Mustang in the TENS 06-99 First SS/MA in the TENS 04-03 IHRA division 5 Superstock Champion Fleet of FoMoCo products including 88 ASC McLaren Mustang #28 The Barry of BarrysGrrl Quote #1: "I never met a magazine mechanic I liked."
