BR-G-BL-BL = 1500, the red at the end is either +/- 5% or +/- 10% tolerance. > The next one up might very well be coded red-red-black and have a value of > 22 ohms; R-R-BL would be 220 ohms. > and connect from ground to the middle lead of the voltage > regulator (three-pin device screwed to the foil next to the tach).
