Hey folks,

I installed a tach in my 1980 242 with help from Art and all, and I want to make sure it's reading properly. My father-in-law has an older tach/dwell/ test meter, but I don't know where to connect the leads. At the red/white wire leaving the coil? If so, at least one meter is WAY off. Any ideas?

When my car is set to 900 RPM idle on its own tach, it feels slow and chuggy at idle. Using his meter connected at the red/white coil wire it revs way high. All suggestions welcome.
