Did I just fry my new tachometer with MSD ignition?

I have the MSD 6a box in my Charger. I'm doing the wiring this week and I leaped before I looked last night and hooked my Autometer tach sender wire to the negitive wire of the coil. I see in the instructions after that, I shouldn't do it.

Now the tach does nothing. Did I screw it up?

-Sadly yes... The ignition box has a Tach gauge terminal where you hook up the tach... Hook up the tach gauge wire to that terminal, if it still doesn't work, well then you've managed to mess up the tach gauge, cause you hooked it up to the coil...

-TheĀ  reason you get an instruction manual is that YOU READ IT :smash: http://www.msdignition.com/pdf/6%20series/6series.pdf

When it comes to electrical stuff, you cant guess, if you guess, well eventhough its a 50/50 chance youll get it right, you will still end up wiring things wrong...
