With a conventional tach like the kroeber, it connects to the lighting coil in parallel with the voltage regulator. When I installed a Digatron a few years ago, I couldn't get the tach to work reliably because the regulator created transients. Digatron recommended a series resistor in place of the regulator and I added a simple low pass filter on the tach input. Both tach operation and charging of the battery have been very reliable in autocross. We are in Ohio for thanksgiving; when we get back to Massacusetts in a few days, I can probably dig up a wiring diagram if you are interested.
