The white line goes from the ignition switch to the Tach and wraps twice
around the small (1/2" x 3/16) U shaped metal piece. This originally had a
molded plastic insulator but it is not necessary for functionality. This U
shaped piece has a hole in the back and the legs of the U enter two small
slots on the back of the case. A small knurled nut holds this assembly
together. The 1/4 tab gets another wire from the ignition and the chassis
is grounded by a common ground wire typically black. The white wire then
goes back into the loom and to the coil primary. The current pulse from
the coil is what drives the Tach.
