!st, switch the tach to negative ground.
Open up the housing, in the back there is a resistor very close to the 
wire that goes to the spade terminal coming out of the tach.
Unsolder the resistor and the wire, switch them, resolder them.
Wiring it to the car needs a white wire from the ignition, thru the loop 
terminal on the back of the tach and to the + side of the coil.
This is for - grd.
A green wire which you can pick up off the fuel gauge or signal switch 
circuit needs to go to the resoldered terminal on the back of the tach.
Also, disconnect the existing white wire from the Bugeye key switch that 
now runs to the coil.
It has to go from the key thru the loop on the tach and then to the coil 
or the tach will not work.
The loop is directional, I do not know which way it is supposed to go, 
if by chance you have a small cut off white wire around the loop post, 
that would have been correct for + grd, it needs to be reversed for - grd.
