How do you hook up a tach on a 1991 454 Chevy motor?

To install a tachometer first determine where the tachometer will be mounted on the dash column. Then, use a flathead screwdriver to tighten the clamp around the column of the tachometer mount. Next, put the two red "trigger" wires through the firewall and connect the other ends to the coil wires of the distributor. Wrap the tachometer wire around the ignition coil bolts. The remaining two wires must be wired into the ignition of the car. Insert them into the power terminal of the fuse box which permits the tachometer to operate when the engine is on.
