Re: spark advance?

Can't help with the rod, never measured one before, but we can help with the tach. There should be a gray colored wire in the harness that goes to the front. Don't know your set up but the gray wire is the tach signal. Hook this up to the tach lug marked "SIG". The lug marked "IGN" is where a 12V source is to be connected. This usually is off the ignition switch. There should also be a lug marked "GRN". This is where a ground lead will be connected.<br /><br />Hope that helped a little.
