Wireing up Tachometer

the engine swap I ddi went good, it runs a little rough but thats ok, I now find out this engine has a few mods to it, a racing camshaft, probably higher compression, well anyway right now I dont have my oil pressure gauge, water temp gauge or my tachometer working, Im so mad cause these are 3 very important meters, ,now my intruction book said for the tachometer to run a wire to the "trigger wire" on voltage triggered tachometers. well I have a 1991 f-150 orginal dash and gauges so do I have this voltage triggers tach and if so what wire is the "trigger wire, ok also it says to ruun a seperate wire to the oil pressure guage, now does this mean directly to the back side of the gauge??? it says to do the same for the water temp. im kinda confused cause that would be a pain to have to run it to the back side of the guages, ,well if anything id like to get my tach running. ok well anything would be a help thank you
