I assume you meant Smiths "RVC".
RVC tachs are voltage pulse sensing. On the back of the tach should be a little brown circuit board with a male spade lug and a bullet connector. Some (but not all) tachs also have a male spade spot-welded directly to the gauge case. The gauge case must be grounded either using a ground wire with ring terminal on one of the threaded tach mounting studs OR connected to the male spade lug spot welded to the gauge case (if such a spade lug exists). Switched, fused 12V is supplied to the male spade lug on the small circuit board. A sense wire is then connected between the bullet connector and the coil (-) terminal.
Since you have converted to the Lucas dizzy, it would be nice if you also used normal Lucas color coded wire (available from britishwiring.com and others). In Lucas color schemes, "dark green" is used for fused, switched circuits, "black" is common for grounds, and white/black is used for coil to distributor and coil to electric tach wiring.
