Use your Haynes and find the wire that the factory tach was supposed to be installed to. You can't take it off the ground on the coil on the 4 banger because each coil only puts out half a signal, so your tach would only read from 0-3000 RPM even though the engine was running 0-6000 RPM.

Try e-bay for a Haynes guide. Autozone can find them for you too.
