At the coil, there is a white plastic dual wire connector with 2 green wires. One of those green wires goes to the tach. The other green wire comes from the ECU where the ECU provides it ground pulses to fire the coil. That side of the coil has 2 male spades tied together on the threaded stud they are mounted to. The 2 pin connector plugs onto the 2 male spades. Mark
