Tach Light Connection

Can anyone tell me which wire to hook the tach light wire to? the dash light would seem to make the most sense - is it the light blue wire near the top of the back of the instrument panel? the other place would be the light switch but which wire?

Thanks.

I got it. There was a bullet connection from the wire harness close to the light switch that worked. Although in doing that my dash light is not as strong. If I push on a spring on the light switch assembly, the dash light brightens significantly - I am assuming that it is just a connection or do I need to change or do something to the spring?

Thanks.

Those old bulbs dim with age, replace about 3 of them around the dash and it will make a huge difference.
