acewell to smiths tacho

i have removed the digidash from my car, done some jiggery pokery and am up to the stage of putting in the new old gauge. am i right in thinking i can use the tacho feed wire that used to go to the acewell unit to go on the bullet connector on the back of my smiths gauge (neg from coil). i have looked over the various diagrams and cant seem to find a reason why it cant. just thought i'd see if anyone was sure. its an rvc gauge by the way so will work with the electronic ignition that i have.
cheers.

5 A is plenty beefy enough, it's only a signal wire to pick up the pulses.

thanks for the info. I have been trying to find pictures of ace well stuff fitted to cars to see what they look like. I like the fact that they are small and will fir above the steering wheel but I'm not sure I like the look of them.
