<p>Not an MGB reference number, it looks like it has later internals
than but would still be the current-operated type i.e. RVI where
the power to the coil comes via the tach. The ignition switch
would be connected to the male bullet and the female bullet to the
coil. 12v (also from the ignition) to the spade and earth to the
case. When used on the MGB there were separate wires from the
ignition switch to the spade and to the male bullet but you can
tee from one to the other rather than running a separate wire.<br>
</p>
<p>It would have been helpful to see the top half of the dial where
it might have shown RVI and what polarity it was. I suspect it
would show positive earth, but those electronics would have been
used with negative earth in an MGB for example so it looks like it
has been converted by swapping the guts instead of swapping the
wires round internally. If that tach was used after the car was
converted to negative earth it would make sense.</p>
