There should be 4 wires I think, unless it doesn't have a light in it. I always use a white wire for a light. Red to a ign. and black for a ground. That leaves one other color of your choosing to the coil. I usually use green or blue for that.

How about the original Dixco instructions?...no mention of a red wire though, but other Dixco 3 wire tachs have red,black, yellow, with red to 12Volt source, black to ground, yellow to negitive on coil...
