Can someone please tell me where the wire is to tap an aftermarket tach into or what wire should I use if there is a better one

What wire to use would depend on the tach. Most will tap into the negative side of one of the coils (Green/Yellow on the front coil or Green/Orange on the rear coil) and then you would configured it as a 1 cylinder.

Be careful, some tachs will only do 4, 6 or 8 cylinders. Do you have a tach in mind?

I am just looking to install a shift light. I'm looking at the MSD Digital Programable Shift Light. After some research, I've found a possible solution. For me, an MSD Shift Light + an MSD GMR Pickup. I believe their GMR pickup will work by attaching it to the coil wire. If you want to do a tach, I think (but am not positive) that you could just use the MSD GMR Pickup on the coil wire and attach any tach that is programable for 2 cylinder engines. If I try it with the shift light, I'll post results and let you know.

So I ordered the MSD Programable Shift light today. I ordered the one with a Single Shift Point. It actually comes with the GMR pickup so we will see how this goes.
