I have an "autogauge" auto meter tach and I have the ground,light and power wire hooked up. Now how do I tap into the negative side of the coil?

Just splice into the wire going to the negative side of the coil and piggy back the Tach wire.

Also, does anybody know if you can wire up a shiftlight without a aftermarket tach or msd box?

Not the average light. But there are some shift lights that can be used with out a Tach or MSD box.
