I did it for awhile. Ran the stock tach wire to the neg coil post. I can't remember the color of the wire but I can check.

Dark green with yellow tracer wire is on negative side of coil. This will give tach signal..

When I switched to carb my stock tach never worked again even after hooking up the dg/y wire to the neg side of coil.

For some reason my tach wire was tan. I tried hooking up the DG/Y wire and it wouldn't work either. Traced it back and found that for some reason mine wasn't the same color as most.
