Does anyone have experience with Hot-Spark Electronic Ignition Conversions? 120-130

Alright, I've got is all hooked up and running great. However, I have a question:

I had a Smith's 122 optional factory dash tach hooked up to the old distributor. One white wire down to the distributor and the other white wire connected to the (-) side of the coil, no other wire between distributor and coil.

Now how can I hook this up to the new ignition? Can the tach act as a bridge between the (-) side of the ignition and (-) of coil similar to how it was hooked up to the old distributor? I ask so that I don't potentially fry my ignition while fiddling with wires.

In other words:

Black wire from ignition to white wire of tach...
Then the other white wire of tach to (-) side of coil?

Thanks!

-Jared
