need help with a tach

i pulled an autometer tach from my mustang and put it on my 84 f150 w/300 6 and it wont work. so i need to be clear on install for the 84 300 6. as i remember from the mustang it took a ground, power, and feed wire to the positive on the coil post. am i off or did the tach crap out on me?
