Default need help hooking up auto meter tach on my dash---5th gen

ok i got a new dash mount tach for my 94lx. I dont want to disconnect my indash tach so im just trying to splice into the existing wires to hook this up. Can anyone tell me where i can locate the proper wires. Im horrible with electric **** in cars and i get nervous im going to mess something up so id rather ask a stupid question instead of doign something stupid to my car, thanks for any help guys.

why do you need a tach if the one in your dash is still working?
