I am trying to figure out how to connect the tach on this car.  it came to =
me in kit form

This diagram seems to show that in essence the connection from power to the=
 ignition coil goes through the tach.  That green wire goes off to the gage=
 voltage stabilizer - is that even needed?

So it seems to me that on my car, which has an original early  MGA wiring h=
arness, all I really need to do is run the white wire through the tach then=
 to the ignition coil, instead of going straight to the ignition coil.  Am =
I on the right tach here (haha)?
