I finally got the new engine (2nd one) going, but my tach is not working, according to the wiring diagram I have it should be black and purple. I have three wires available, white, gr/bl and bl/wh, the gr/bl and bl/wh show 3.13 volts with ignition on, any idea which one is right? This is a 1974 with dual dell's.

Unplug the black/purple wire from the coil (-) terminal, and use your continuity tester (or ohmmeter) to find out which if any of those wires connects to that bk/pu one. If the answer is "none of the above", then keep looking...

I'm sorry, but this ids at that coil, I used the tried and true method, start car and touch each wire to the - side of the coil until the tach jumps. First wire I tried worked! Thanks!
