Use the purple to power the instruments (NOT purple with white stripe). What color wires go to the amphenol?? I'm thinking it's a tach harness???<br /><br />-John

Thanks for your help John & Thought<br /><br />There is a purple, grey and black wire going to the amphenol 3 pin plug.

The purple wire power for the tach, the grey wire is tach signal, the black wire is a ground lead. There is also a male plug aviable to connect this output to the tach. at the dash or you can make up your own.
