I first want to thank everyone who helped with my last electrical question. The car runs. Kinda. I had the wires for the coil and distributor unplugged and you guys came to the rescue. Now here is my new problem. The black/purple wire goes to the + side of the coil, the red from the Pertronx goes to the + side of the coil. The black from the Pertronx goes to the – side of the coil. Now I have one more black wire (tach) that SHOULD go to the – side of the coil. The car will turn over but not crank. I unplug the tach wire and it will fire right up. WHY? I want my tach to work. Porsche put it in the center for a reason!!

Check the wiring on the back of the tach. If someone plugged the tach lead into the ground point on the back of the tach, the car won't run. Or a simple anti-theft device is to add a toggle switch that grounds the tach lead on the back of the tach. Either may be the problem. Another remote possiblity is the tach is bad and grounding internally.
