Jon - For a mag you'd connect one tach/dwell lead to the mag shorting (kill) terminal and the other to ground. (Doesn't make any difference which color tach lead is grounded.) But since a tach/dwell ordinarily works by reading the pulsating battery voltage going to the coil, getting a proper RPM reading from a mag is questionable at best. Incidentally it's been too long since I "dwelled" an mechanical ignition system - I honestly cannot recall what a good 4 cyl dwell reading is anymore. So for a slow running tractor mag, I'd simply set the breaker points to 0.013" and take whatever dwell it gives you (remember you're not running NASCAR RPM's here!). Figure as long as you have a good spark when the impulse trips you can be certain you are getting a nice fat spark while the engine runs! ...Bob
