what kind of tach is it? I hooked mine up to the ignition coil wire, then a wire to ground, a wire to the lights and a power source. My ignition coil was blue, right near the distributor, and i used a little wire splicing clip to splice the tach wire into it.

ok what i did was, if u take off yoru gauge cluster, there is a blue wire in there, thats yoru tach signal wire. so hook up the tach signal wire form the tach to that blue wire. then i spliced into the dimmer switch for the lighting of the tach its right there. then i spliced into my deck acc power line to turn the tach on when i start the car. then of course hook up all the grounds. bam your done
