I've got a Sun tach I am trying to put back in a frineds car. He cut the wires when he took it out and I'm not sure which wire is which. The wires are blue, green, red and black.
Thanks Clark

im not exactly sure but i would say red is power, black is ground, green goes to the coil and blue is the light. Im not exactly sure though. Nate

I second that. But you can probably find out for sure on their website.

The green wire goes to the neg side of your dist. The white goes to a instrument panel light wire that is on when you turn your lights on. The red goes to a12v spot when your key is on and the black is ground.

this is what I've been told...
