Right, pull off your drivers side kick panel and there should be a loom coming out with 9 wires in it, one of these green. This will go into a square (3x3 wires) plug, you will probly find the green wire stops here... had it have carried on through the other side of the plug it would be already in your dash!
But anyway... this is the wire you wanna connect to for your tacho pulse

It picks up the pulsing from the ign circuit, the crank pick up is pretty weak.
