Hey all, I'm re-installing my wiring in the Valiant and I have a question. 1969 70 hp model 7071 serial 5145. I have the original owners manual and the instructions show the terminals and which wires go where. Well, the owner's manual shows the white (tach signal wire) going to the upper "M" terminal on the back of the ignition switch. (There are two terminals marked "M"-upper and lower) While my Glenn's repair manual has a very detailed complete wiring diagram that shows the same white tach wire going directly to the signal terminal on the tach. If I put the white tach wire on the back of the iginition switch would I run a jumper from the switch to the tach signal terminal? What is the benefit of running to the ignition switch and then out to the tach? Which is the "preferred" method? I hope this all makes sense! :redface:
