You want the terminal on the coil that is switched to earth by the electronic dizzy, not the terminal with constant 12V when the ignition is on. I seem to remember that yellow is the colour of the wire you want, but am not certain.

When we put ours in, we picked up all of the other needed connections from the back of the clock - earth, lights and ignition.

im not sure why or how this is going to help you, but when i had mine done (came in car when i bought it), the light on the tacho at night would go out when i put my high beams on...
