It is recommended to refer to the Sunpro tachometer instructions for the specific wire diagram and installation instructions for your model. The diagram will typically show you how to connect the tachometer and shift light to the appropriate wires in your vehicle. If you do not have the instructions, you may be able to find them online through Sunpro's website or by contacting their customer support.
I would suggest you try to find the manufacturer of your tachometer on the web and check out their support site and email them if needed for your particuliar vehicle. For instance below is a link to Autometer's Tech Tip web site however unless you own an Autometer Tach this may be useless to you. There are so many different ignition systems today that it would be difficult to explain each. So its best to get the info from the pro's. , EzForJesus http://hp.autometer.com/techtips/techtips.html
For a 1987 Chevy pickup with a 350 engine and a non-HEI ignition system, the wire that is typically used for connecting a tachometer is the green wire located on the distributor cap. This wire provides the signal needed for the tachometer to work accurately. Make sure to consult the vehicle's manual or a wiring diagram to locate the specific wire on your truck.
Purchase a tach and it will come with instructions for installation. There is a product called "Tiny Tach" used for ultralight airplanes. Very accurate digital, does not care how many cylinders you have. Installed by wrapping a wire around a spark plug wire, and connecting the other wire to ground. No tools. Self contained battery lasts 5 years or more. Available from Aircraft Spruce for about $39.
To hook up an aftermarket tachometer to a 1994 Cavalier 2.2, you can connect the green wire from the tachometer to the negative side of the ignition coil. This will allow the tachometer to receive the signal it needs to accurately display engine RPMs. Be sure to consult your tachometer's manual for specific instructions on wiring.
how do you hook up a sunpro super tach 2
hook your green wire from the tach to the white wire from the coil PAC it should be a white and a yellow wire coming from the coil. the tach should have a white wire that will be your light inside the tach a red wire for power and a black for ground.. good luck
Contact the manufacturer and request an Owner's manual with installation instructions.

There should be a tach output connection on the side of the box somewhere, you just plug your tach pickup into that. If it doesn't work you'll need a MSD tach adapter. I'm unsure of the part numbers but there are 2 different ones, it depends on what you used to wire in your ignition. If you used the white wire there is one and if you used a magnetic pickup ( green and violet wires ) there is another one....MSD-8920. I have a sunpro tach and I had to go out and buy an adapter to make it work...for about 50 bucks.
you can install any kind of tach you want to in your car..if you do not have a stock tach then look in your manual for the rmp sensor wire..should be blue or green coming off the distributor...just splice into it...if you have a stock tach you can just splice into the stock tach wires by taking off the dash
If the wires are Red,Black,Green,and White I can help you. Im also assuming you have HEI ignition. The red wire will go on the positive battery terminal, make sure you run an in line fuse. The white and black wire are for the light, so you will have to tap in to a dash light. White being positive. The green wire will go on the tach lead also known as negative. The cap has the words TACH and BAT on them. Hook it up to the TACH.
Should have four wires: Positive, Ground, Light, and Tach. Put ground first! I made this mistake and took out all the lights in my dash. Hook the tach wire up to the male end on the distributor cap (you'll have to route it through the firewall). Hook the positive up to a nearby wire or open spot in your fuse box. I tapped off the radio. Hook the light into your panel instrument light circuit.
MSD had a module a few years back that would convert a tach signal. Not sure hear da rumor about using a wire off the obdii port, but never seen anyone with a mitsu do it and work. Have seen the MSD tach adapter work superbly.

I had the same problem with a Japanese mini-truck. I found the Sunpro CP2010 model handles the 3 cylinder issue by an internal switch. 4 Wire hookup - hot, ground, light and coil.
