I forgot which color wire it is but you have the diagram. Some smith's tachs need the MSD capacitor inline with the tach wire, and some need the capacitor and the MSD tach adapter box to work. I forget which need which, as SPF changed the style of tach to one with a multi-wire connector some time ago. Try it with no adapter or extra capacitor first, if I remember correctly, the new tach's don't need them. If it don't work add the cap. it's free if you call the MSD tech support line, then the adapter if necessary as it costs a few dollars. Sorry for the poor memory.
