As many of you know the Standard Hatch Civic didn't come with a tach. My buddy got me one for my birthday and I want to install it. Thing is, I'm not crazy about going through to the ignition coil. Is there another(easier less risky) way to do this. This is my daily driver so I can't mess anything up. I have a JDM B16A V2 complete swap and it's OBD1. Is there some way I can feed off one of the ECU wires or something even easier? If not, can anyone give me a website or info on how to properly install it to the ignition coil? Thanks buddies.

Supposedly, all Civics came wired for the tach signal even if they don't have one. Should be the blue wire behind the cluster on the left side. I'm sure somebody else has done this...

yep, there is one there. But if not, just go to the coil. It is not risky. You run one wire to the + side and that's it.
