Hi guys.  Been awhile (like 15yrs!).  Anyways, I had a question regarding the tach wire.  There is a small grey connector coming out of the firewall.  From there, this is supposed to go to the coil.  Should it's run on the drivers side or passenger side of the intake manifold.  Thanks!!! :icon_smile_question:

Passenger side,  along with the rest of the wires to coil, alternator etc.

Which accessory fuse does the power terminal attach to in the fuse box?  Thanks again.

Yep, that's it!  I don't think the wire that year one provided is long enough to go the passenger side route.  I'll guess I'll have to make my own, as usual.   :rotz:

Would need to be about 5' long...

Can't remember if I have the original or not, I'd made some make shift replacement back in the 70's for mine for some reason I can't remember  :slap: Think the original is still in the harness, but have to look.
