Default 1973 relay wiring

I am at a loss.... I am wiring up a 1973 mustang with a tach and gauges
and a 4 speed toploader and the wiring diagrams I have show nothing about the tach and gauges. the area in question is at the starter relay, I know it is wired different than without the tach but I dont know how. Can someone send a picture of theie relay and regulator wiring or a diagram whould be great.

i don't know why the starter relay would be wired differently with tach or without tach


here's a simple diagram I once made

really don't get it. there's only the cables at the selonoid that i pictured. no more, no less. has nothing to do with the alternator harness. although you probably could connect the contsant battery+ on one side of selonoid instead of battery+

but i think you're looking for a complete wiring diagram (of which there are plenty) ... ?!

I have the complete wiring diagram for a 73 with a 351c... but there are extra wires when the tach is involved that are not shown in the diagram...diagram only shows idiot lights, not gauges
