The coil is basically a transformer. Main input is 12v DC pulsed, (the two low tension wires connected to the lugs either side of the high tension output), the secondary outputs a higher voltage required to jump the air gap of the spark plug as 12v is not enough.

Hope that makes some sense.

Not for a datsun 1200 tachometer. It is an inducation meter, and so is wired into the + side of coil.

Most other cars tachometer is wired to - side of coil
