Peter:
Unfortunately, there is no other way to wire it. Power to the coil MUST pass
THROUGH the tachometer for the tach to register. You don't have to connect it
directly to the key switch, but where ever you connect it, the power has to
be switched off when the key is off. Otherwise, you can't shut the engine
off.
