Installing Tachometer

I am going to be installing a tachometer on my 1973 Ford F100 and it's my first time doing this I know it hooks up to the distributer and of course needs power but as I said I have never done this before so I was just wondering if anyone had any tips or things to aviod doing. I don't know if there is a big difference in hooking it up to one distributer from another but my truck has a 300 I6 with stock distributer. Any tips would be appreciated.

Installing Tachometer

Follow the instructions that come with the tach - it connects to the (-) terminal of the coil; not the dist.
