tachometer

I have an electric AC brand tachometer that I don't understand. It only has one connection on the back for a wire. It is marked dist. 12 volts. It has no 12v supply connection. I hooked this connection to the dist. side of the coil but it doesn't work. I know it's getting juice as I touched it while the car was running. Can anybody help me with this. Thanks Larry

Is it a mount kind? If it's a mount kind, maybe it's intended to be attached to the chassis and grounded that way? My $.02
