I'm nearing the final stages of a Buick V6 swap into my 914. I am using an MSD billet distributor and MSD 6200A ignition box. As best I can tell from the Haines wiring diagram, the 914 12 pin harness wire, black wire with purple stripe that normally connects to the negative side of the coil, is the tach signal wire. I am guessing (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/huh.gif) that the black/purple wire would be the one to connect to the MSD box tach output signal connection. Can anyone correct me on this if I am wrong in my guess? (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/unsure.gif)

Thanks,
Don
