Thanks Benny - I had not seen that type of alternator /tach connection shown in the video before.

If you look at the diagram below the video you may also get a tap from the Stator running a wire through the casing.

Is it possible to hook up a tach to this alternator?
That looks like an older Mitsubishi 35A externally regulated alt. The terminals are generally:

E= Neg/Ground (for the brush)
F= Field = F (other brush lead)
N = Stator Tap / AC Pulse / Tach
A = 12V+ / B+
B = B+ to large battery cable
Unlabeled Stud = Case Ground
