Instead of running a extra wire from the coil you pick up the factory tacho feed wire inside the car under the dash.

i understand, i found a key on power and ground is easy

i just need the color code tach feed, mine is an 89 and not a LTx car, and the positioning of the g1 and g2 are not color coded the same I have the dash somewhat apart,
i'd rather tap into it from below, this is a real pita.....
