I pulled the "very early" diagram and see that the "turn indicator" in the
tach is wired completely different from late models. I do not see the need for any
modification to the wiring to get it to work. The diodes and pig-tail should be
unnecessary.
Unlike the late model, the indicator bulb, in the tach, does not ground using the blinker bulb filaments; rather,
their is a red wire carrying 12V to the bulb and it is grounded through the
orange wire leaving the indicator bulb going to the flasher. The flasher appears to have a relay
grounding the orange wire to the exiting black ground wire.
Have you tried the indicator light with the wiring unaltered?
