on these engines the coil is the round cylinder ( probably black) its about 1.5 inches round and about 4 inches long
easiest way to find it is to follow the lead from ya dizzy

If the coil is built in to the dizzy then there will also be a postive and negative wire connecting to it somewhere. I believe the postive wire is the one u need for the tacho.
