If you are talking aboutthe Tach signal-it comes off the fat blue wire on the distributor. This lead is also available (on Si's at least) behind the instrument cluster. Some Hondas also have a test connector under the hood.

In every Honda...civic,crx,integra....in the fuse panel there are a group of empty slots with a male pin....they provide battery,ignition,park lights...just use a meter to find the one you need and fuse it.

Yes, I know this. This is where I took the power for the gauges. I was referring to the lead wire for the tach behind the cluster. Curious to which wire this was.
