I forget the numbers, but you can look at the nice color wiring diagram over at Pelican Parts. BTW, the wire in question is a relatively thin black wire with a purple trace. DO NOT attach the thicker black wire with the red trace! You'll waste the points and the condenser, as well as the point wire! All the smoke will get out and they won't work any more.

Nope the big wire is on the positive side of the coil. I'll chase down the smaller one and make sure it goes to the back of the tach when I get home tonight. So the tach is just a pulse meter.
