Re: [T3] VDO Tach wiring


I have only used 6V VDO tachs, but they have all had the same connections:

1. A connection marked "+6", which I connect to the ignition lock.
2. "1" which should be connected to the distributor side of the coil.
3. "-" which I connect to ground.

The markings on the connectors are often molded in plastic and can be very
difficult to see.
