There are different types of Smiths tacho. Some are wired just by 
passing the LT coil wire (either side) through an induction loop, 
while others require a direct connection to the contact breaker side 
of the coil.

However, whilst Lumention should work with both types, I would 
actually recomment the Petronics Ignitor (marketed by Aldon in the UK) 
which fits inside the Lucas distributor and has a magnetic collar that 
fits around the shaft under the rotor arm. It uses the Hall effect 
rather than an optical sensor.
