You can put the gray tach wire to either the yellow or yellow/gray wire coming from the stator. Makes no difference.

Thanks Boobie you are always the man when it comes to my engine always right on the money! So ur basically saying I can move it is it alright to connect it to the stator yellow/gray even if the same terminal goes to the rectifier? Thanks

By the way, I read your other post and set your tach to the 6 P position.
