i had a tech wired in my 89 rolla for $60aus which should b like 20pound. i couldnt b bothered doing it myself, it was a 40deg day.

and yes u do have a coil, everycar does.

its the sliver cylinder shaped thing with 3 cables coming out the top, it wearabouts is the left infront of the wheel when ur looking under the hood. one of the wires on it goes off to the distributor...

hi

is techo = tachometer put some pics of your engine bay in here i think i can tell you where to connect the wire if you still having problems

[dawesy]

you will have a coil, if you're unsure follow the coil lead from the dizzy. then the wire you need is the black one. to check it (cos there are two wires) turn on the ignition and check the voltage of the other(might be red or somthing) wire (i.e earth probe of multimeter to a ground point, other one to the terminal to be checked) you should have 12v or there abouts. if so theen connect your tach to the black wire and job should be done
