Default installing a tachometer

I could really use some "Corvette specific" instructions from somebody who has done this mod already, like what wires go where. Any tips would be greatly appreciated also. I'm a little nervous to do this without knowing exactly what I'm supposed to be doing.

Thanks in advance!

2 ways really, Other then wiring power and ground.. either run the tach wire to the tach wire running in to the Cluster

OR

Run the wire directly to to the tach output on the distributor under the hood.

Off hand i don't know the exact wire color or location on the connector to the cluster in the dash.. and on the distributor the coil cover has the Tach line marked

Thanks! After I posted, I searched and found that the same question was asked like a week ago, and they gave a pretty good discription on what to do. Perhaps next time I should search then post... :jester
