I want to add a tach to my 68. My plan was to add some wires so I could =
wire the tach in series with the old pink resistor wire, at the ignition =
switch.

First, this is the correct way to wire, yes/no?

Second, how do you push the lugs/spades out of the connector (the piece =
that pushes onto back of key switch body)? I want to pop out the spade =
that has the pink and (I think) green w/red stripe. Is there a special =
tool?

Thanks
