Default How do I wire my 5" Autometer Tach to my LS1?

Alright, Ive wired a tach to a LT1 which is pretty simple to the coil wires, but not sure if that works the same on the LS1, if anyone has a diagram or anything of how to connect a Autometer tach to the LS1 please let me know. Its a 98 LS1 and if you could provide which wires and colors I connect to, that would be great. I know red is for power for the light, green is for the tach signal, black is for the ground adn white is for switched power.

green wire goes to the #10 wire on your PCM, that is how mine is wired up. ^ that link should help you out too.

Actually, he has a 1998, so he would hit Pin #35 which is a white wire. 97-98 LS1s had different pinouts then 99-02s.

Check this out. --->

3 wire hookup. + , - , and Pin #35 right out of the (blue) connector on the PCM. It's a white wire that will be tapped and go to the tach signal on your tach/shift light.
