Where to tap into tach signal?

Ok i really hate not having a tach, and i have an extra sunbeam tach laying around, so i figure i might as well hook it up temporarily until i get my SR5 cluster. Anyways, my question is as the title states, where would i tap into the tach signal?

What truck and engine do you have? Check a repair manual or go to www.autozone.com where you can read them online.

If you want to, email it to me, I'll create a thumbnail and then post the thumbnail and make it link to the fullsize version.
