:help:eek:k guys dont beat me up to bad now im a ford guy doin a motor and trans swap for my wife on her 1997 tahoe:eek::eek::eek:. im pullin the blown 350 vortec out and droppin in a mildy built carbuated 383 and a turbo 350, and im lookin to see if someone would be able to help me out with some wiring diagrams for the ignition system. im lookin for the wire for the tac so i can hook up to the factory wire and have the tac on the dash work i know the other wire on the hei just needs to go to a switched power (correct me if im wrong). and once again correct me if im wrong but i shouldn't have to run a seperate ignition control moduel like on the old 78-79 fords since the icm is in the dizzy so i should be good there just those two wires on the dizzy and it should fire right off if im looking and understanding the system correctly. thanks for the help

ICM is in the distributor.

Tach signal is different, the white wire on the coil is where you would hook up an aftermarket tach to... White wire pin 6 on dash module on mine....
