I have not installed one, but in lookin at the schematic, it looks the same for a tachometer. the green wire goes to the neg side of the coil.

wait for confirmation from someone who has done one, but if that is what you were thinking too, that is probably right.

good luck.

oh yeah, you dont have an aftermarket ignition, right? if you have some MSD's, the green wire would go to the box instead.

good luck.

Thanks for the quick response and no I dont have an aftermarket ignition. I know it says the negative side of the coil but i was wondering what exact wire to tap into, I think theres like 3 wires there that go into 1 connector? lol im really bad with this electronic stuff.
