For tach power, connect the wire to the red/lt green wire coming from the ignition switch. Or tap into the wiring of the fuse positions shown on the diagram.

[I already hooked up the green wire to the green and yellow wire that goes to distributor but I need to hook up the ref wire from the tack it goes with inline fuse to ignition source. What wire is the. Is it the red and green tfi wire?
 
easiest way is to get one these and add it to the fuse location for the radio and wire in the red wire to it.. Any parts store stocks them.

I made one of these using a fuse with wires both connectors,but what I need to know is what wire to connect to? Red and green stripe wire I head somewhere is" Power on 1". Is that the wire I should splice my red tach wire with inline fuse?Sorry just scared the car will catch fire.
 
Cool but I bought it do I still have to insert coloed fuses into it? It has a spot for 2...
Red green wire on the ignition power on 1 or tfi? Isn't that tfi for the tack signal green wire?
One position is for the existing fuse (#18, 15A). The other position is for the new circuit (5A).
Or just connect it to the Red/Lt. Green at the ignition coil, which is already fuselink protected.
No to TFI.
