rev counter wiring

[broken-passat]

hello people,
i've been given a smith's rev counter and would like to know what wires go where?
It has 1 female bullet connector, 1 male bullet connector, and 1 spade . and a ground on the casing.
hope anyone can help , could get pictures if that will help.
looks the same as a smith's RVC 1004/00f as a guide.
many thanks

Welcome to the forum. It depends what polarity your car is - and what polarity the 'rev-counter' is set for. Set it up wrongly and you will likely ruin it (the 'rev counter' - not the car, hopefully!). There was a comprehensive thread on here just recently about all this - try a search for it...........
Basically - it needs an ignition power feed and an earth - and then the wires through the 'loop' substitute for either the feed to the coil - or the feed from the coil to the dizzy.

Not sure about the wiring, but make sure it is set up for 4 cylinders
