Were can I pick it up at. Negitive side of the coil and if so which wire is it (if memory serves I seem to remember a yellow wire and a green wire) or if not there , where.

Yes, test the coil to see which wire.....but I thought that coupe had an MSD???? If that is the case there is a tack output the ole red box.Originally Posted by Cam99

You can get it at one of those 2 wires Cam. I don't remember off hand which one it is, but it will be the only one that has a AC current, you know the stuff those furnaces & ac's you install use. :D
DC current on the car
Put your meter on it! Or better yet, grab it while the car is running and tell me if you still think it's DC.DC current on the car
The tach signal wire on the car is the only wire that can actually shock you. It IS AC Current.

Not sure on the whole AC/DC thing, I would guess it's still DC though just with really high voltage. Ive been shocked by plug wires before too though. I was dumb and tried changing them around while the car was running and a couple of them shocked the shit outta mePut your meter on it! Or better yet, grab it while the car is running and tell me if you still think it's DC.

I will check that out. I can't imagine why there would be a ton of amperage going through the feed wire of the coil, and it's only 12 V going in. It's the job of the coil to create the many thousands of volts that go through the plug wires. Interesting.Put your meter on it!

EDIT: AC/DC rocks!
Let's just say the 15+ years of Mobil Electronic Installations has been a good teacher on finding a tach signal. I'll never forget the 1st remote starter I put in and probing that wire and getting shocked by it!
Oh yeah, I think Colin is drinking again on a Friday at work!

Low and behold I did measure about 7 volts A/C current on the yellow coil wire. (and about 5 amps). Learn something new every day. Ed you is teh shiznit
Oh, its definatly AC voltage.
