Tac wire question

I have a 96 F150 Eddie Bauer with a 351. I would like to install a tac. Can anyone tell me where to hook the green wire to the distributer or coil? Is there a empty connector for the tac wire? I just bought the truck so Im not fimiliar with it yet. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks
Paul

Look at the electrical plug at the coil. Splice into the Tan/Yellow wire not Dark Green/Yellow that I originally posted.

Here's the Autozone schematic.

I have a 96 F-150 w/ 300 6 in it and I found a connection down on the ignition coil that I connected my tach to.
I literally laid down on top of the engine and carefully soldered the wire into it for a solid connection about 2 inches above where the plug snaps into the coil.
I'll go look to make sure and post here in the morning but I believe the wire was yellow.
