I have a chevy cheyenne 89 and it has an aftermarket tach mounted on the hood ones you can get at canadian tire, there are two wires that are supposed to clip on engine somewhere and I would like to know where to attach it. Can anyone help? Thanks

On the engine compartment harness there is a pigtail taped to the harness right by the distributor. That is the tach wire (should be a white wire)
