Where is the tach wire?

My Ram Jet computer has a tachometer output that needs to go to the stock tach in my 89 Formula (originally L98) so that my tach will work. Anybody know where to splice this into the stock wiring harness?

On the way... Radar Blue 89 Formula, T56, Ram Jet 430, Ram Air, 17inch ROHs.

I sumbled upon the tach wire under the hood mistakeing it for the advanced timeing wire. Mine was right near the distributer cap and it had a clip that you can clip and unclip. So I would try to unclip that wire start the car and see if the tach does not go up when you hit the gas, then you know thats the right wire.

That was the right one. Thanks. It was white and had a connector just like the wire you use to do your timing.
