Never use wire nuts on your vehicle. It’s lazy and sloppy not to mention as you drive they come loose and can potentially causing a short or even worse a fire. Just don’t.
Thanks, How To Nation. Very helpful. I have the exact same tach that I just bought for my early 60's Mercury, so I'm glad I found your video. I installed it today and was hoping I wouldn't have to mess with the power feed, but it looks like I need to (just as you say.) I was thinking the power feed was just for the light (which I'm not going to bother with) but it is for powering the tach, as you said in the video.
IDK WHAT WIRE TO HOOK MY GREEN ONE UP TO IM SO OVER WHELMED cant find a diagram of my ignition module to know which wire to hook it up to it where the ignition module is even at I need all the help
If your gonna do it, do it right. White is constant, it hooks to the main power in the fuse block. Red is switched, it goes on the ignition. Green, negative coil, black ground. DO IT RIGHT!

What color is the light in the tach? Also does the needle light up?
