Default auto meter tach install

I just bought an autometer 5" C2 tach and i was wondering where the green wire goes to. I know it says the negative side of the coil, but i dont know which side that is, the green or red wire. I am thinking that the green is the right one, but i just want to make sure. Thanks

yup green....you can just strip the end and stuf fit into the connector too, then tape it all up for a no splice connection. if you have an msd box w/ the tfi harness...you need to go to the new harness after that...but if just stock...yes the green wire on the coil

I ran mine directly to my MSD box.....it has a plug for a tach.
