White wire FROM ignition switch THROUGH tach (male/female bullets)
And onto the POSITIVE side of the coil.
If the car runs, that circuit should be OK or mixed at the key switch.
Look for a miss placed white wire in a bullet connector or loose wire at 
the ign switch/column plug.
Green wire to spade terminal on tach, it should be hot when the key is 
on. Do the signals and fuel gauge work? Same circuit.
A GOOD ground, that stupid wire grounded to the thumb screw post is NOT 
a good ground. Run a real ground to the extra spade terminal on the 
housing or under one of the housing screws.
