The simple way is to compare the wire colors in each hole of both 14 pin
connectors. Move the wires on the clock dash model to the same positions
as the tach model 14 pin connector. The connector opens up at the wire
edge and the pins slide out and in. You will need to combine the 2 brown
wires onto one pin and place it where the tach dash has it. Then use the
extra cut off brown wire stub and it's pin to connect a new long green
wire back to the coil. Plug this spliced green/brown wire into the hole
where the green wire is on the tach dash 14 pin connector.

VW keeps the same color wires for the same functions on almost every
Vanagon. The position and such changes but the colors don't.

Unhook the battery ground strap when doing the wire relocation. One of
the wires is always live.
