It should be the negative side. It is the brown/white off the coil....or did I use the brown off the noise suppressor filter. Hang on, I'll go look....
yeah, I tapped the brown/white wire coming off the coil for my equus tach in my 91. I guess if that doesn't work for you, you could try the brown off the noise suppressor. The brown wire is what runs to the instrument cluster, for a tach input.
