Posted May 27, 200420 yr comment_82924 I just bought a after market tach(autometer # 2301) and can't figure that out the violet colored wire and white colored wire. Privious owner installed tach adapter twice and failed it. Now I bought after market tach and would like to install it my 72 240 with 78z ignition and distributor with the MSD 6AL.My current system is verry much like this:http://www.msdignition.com/pdf/pdf26.pdfand the autometer's instruction, page one, figure B: http://hp.autometer.com/instruction_download/instructions/468h.pdf1. What's shall I do the "Violet" wire. When I looked two of the wires(Green and Violet) from MSD ignition box which connect to the 78 z distributor. By the drawing from the Autometer's webpage 1, figure B, only the green wire from MSD ignition box to the Autometer's tach. What's happed the Violet wire? Do I connect the violet wire to the distributor? or Will I not use it?2. How to deal with the "white" wire from MSD ignition box.From classic z car site indicates the white wire from MSD connected to the Tach adapter, then connect to the B/W or red wire from MSD ignition box.I went down and check my car, the white wire is cut off and does not connect any wire what so ever.http://www.classiczcars.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=130853. Do I connect any wire from MSD to the distributor? Violet wire?, red wire, or none?I think I explain my problem clear hopefully.jaynez31just like my 240z, I am from Japan too, what's heck.
