the older Autometer tachs have two wire loops, where the rest of the wires come out. You cut one or both of them for 6 or 4 cylinder use. Figure out what wires it has, look up the instructions on the internet, and see if you can get it to work.
Nothing on the internet says anything about it just to connect the tach wire to positive side of coil or on connector on hei Sent from my LG-LS777 using The H.A.M.B. mobile app
Did you go to their web site ? Looks like they have downloads and videos. Call them . I think an more age looking appropriate tach would look cool with your patina dash.
Did you find the model number of the tach you have, and download the instructions for it? Tach wire goes to negative side of coil, as you have it wired now. But the instructions will tell you how to set the tach for 4, 6, or 8 cylinder use. edit: see the above instructions? the next two pages in the pdf file explain how to program it for the number of cylinders, set the shift light, etc.
