Larry,
That should work fine since the meter doesn't care where it gets it's
power from. Any voltage source of will work but I would use one that
is switched with the ignition or the hour meter would work if you
left the prop lever engaged. I would come from the hot side of the
coil primary since that is a switched, ignition line.

use the prop switch as the ground side (+) to complete the circuit
for meter #2. It's much easier to work with wiring if I stay aft of
the passenger compartment.

When I plug that end into the switch terminal, the hour meter still
counts, but now the dash light won't illuminate! Rewire normally and
all is OK.
