Splice the tach wire to the solid blue wire for the cluster harness. Same thing. You can butt connect it, but you'll lose your stock tach (if you have one).

Read the directions that came with the tack.

For what it's worth, we never could get an autometer tach to work in the race car.

We tried 2 autometer tacks.
