Hi. l have this old electronic tachometer and would like to install it on my peugeot but the installation sheet is talking about a coil connection for the signal! My car has a black long coil pack, where do l connect the signal ???

tachometres have to be fitted by registered garages and calibrated for use

The coil of an older car generates about 10,000 volts for the spark plug.
Old coils sent voltage to the distributor cap via ONE wire. Modern coil packs send the voltage directly to each spark plug.
l think ur 'old electronic tach' will only be useable when it can receive 4 times the volt flashes from an old one-wire coil.
IF u connect it to just one spark plug wire now, u will get fewer electronic signals, & l am guessing an inaccurate rpm reading.

There r many places to buy an aftermarket tachometer for use on COIL PACK cars. for example:
