I was wondering where the negative spot on the ignition coil is? It says to connect there but I am lost with toyotas.
If anyone has a picture or a diagram or directions to where it is it would help a lot.

Re: tachometer..
Page 217 of the Factory Service manual (FSM) has a diagram which should help you. It is posted on this site in the Repair Guides section. Are you trying to install an aftermarket tach? If so then I would guess the negative coil terminal would suffice for that.
If you want a factory gauge cluster I can send you one cheap, it should plug into your wiring harness. But you would need to supply your own working fuel gauge.

It's a scientific fact that in a twin engine aircraft, when one engine fails there is always enough power in the remaining engine to make it all the way to the crash site.
