Installing Tach Question

I am installing a tach in my IROC dash cluster (factory one). Everything else works fine and I believe all my wiring on the cluster is all set and good ready for the tach but where is the best place to pick it up in the engine bay to mount to distributor?

Negative terminal of the coil.


What distributor (external coil? coil in cap?)

The coil in cap HEI have a "tach" output on the side. The external coils use a white wire ont he negative side of the coil
