TACH Wiring?

I have a 1987 base model camaro. just bought a tach and know where to hookup all the wires but one. The schmatic says it needs to go to the negative side of the ignition coil. Which wire is it? Can i pick the wire up somewhere near the fuse box?

thanx

Its on the coil, if your not sure which one you can use a test light on it. It will be the one that blinks fast when the car is running.
