Default Tach install

Installing an aftermarket autometer tachometer and shift light in my 98' z28. Was wondering what pin are you guys tapped into for tach signal from the ECM and preferred location of the actual gauge.

For a 98, it's the white wire in terminal 35 on the blue connector. That's the stock tach signal wire, It's where mine is connected.

My tach is mount on the dash a bit left of center
