Yes it does but I do not know which way is going to work on your tach.  For 
no good reason I would take the wire as it comes from the ignition and run it 
through the clamp from the right hand side as you look at the back of the 
tach.  Make a half inch diameter loop that points towards the floor of the 
car.  The wire then passes through the clamp, entering from the same side as 
it started.  The clamp should be a plastic part with a "U" shaped piece of 
metal that goes around the clamp and makes contact with two metal contancts 
in the tach.  As is obvious you can try it one way and if that does not work 
then run the wires in the opposite direction.
Hope this helps.
