if you're talking about adding an aftermarket tach... there is no need unless you frequent the track.

grab a compatible OE cluster that came with a tach (EX, Si, maybe even CRV...) and it's all plug and play. no need to run wires, just remove the DX cluster and install the EX/Si cluster and you'll have a working tach.

To answer your question, there's a solid blue tach signal wire behind the cluster, or if you want to run it to your dizzy, connect it to the negative side of the coil. Either way...

yea just run the signal wire from ur aftermarket tach to the dizzy(blue wire) or just find an ex/si cluster. much cleaner IMO
