you won't get the standard tacho to work with the CA tacho output I don't think.

The 12V feed to the coils (middle wire).

Using the old datsun spade terminals for such an important wire is not a good idea though. So you could try using a parallel wire to the 12V coils feed, or replace the terminals with a good insulated 2 wire connector.

for after market tachos, use the yellow wire with red stripe that goes to the dash loom.

NO, you need to find the yellow/red wire I spoke of.

In a funny voice...It's alllrigghht.

You could probably get some pulses off the 12V feed, but can't be sure. I recommend the factory ECU Tacho signal.

Good Luck
