FWIW,
At the rear of the Pantera tach you must have three wires:
All orientations are with the tach mounted and as viewed from behind.
A Light Blue wire which is +12V from Fuse #12 when the key is on. This
wire must go to the bottom terminal near the center of the unit marked +12.
A Blue/Black wire which is the tach signal from the ignition coil negative
terminal if you have an OEM points/coil system or from the tach output of
a tach adapter if you have an electronic ignition system. This wire must go
to the top terminal near the center of the unit marked TACH.
A Black wire which is the chassis ground for both the lamps and the
tachometer meter circuitry. This wire must go to the terminal riveted to the case
near the bottom left edge and unlabeled. This ground connection is for
both the lamp circuits via the tachometer case, and thru the "knob" between
the +12 and TACH terminals to the meter movement.
A picture of the back side of a tach with the terminals labeled can be
seen at:
