If its out of an early Tina, there is an inductive loop missing in your pic. it goes where the knurled nut is on the right. This loop-just two coils-
is what picks up the low tension pulses on the + side of the coil. The spade connector is ign + and the threaded post is ground.

Note that the early inductive tacho's generaly won't work with electronic ignition.
