Default Tach wire for MSD Window Switch?

I thought this would be a simple question but I still can't figure it out. I have read that it was Pin #10 but when i pull out my PCM what do you know I have NO Pin #10 Wire. Somebody Please Help!

Its a white wire(#10) that comes out from the PCM, you do not have to pull the PCM to get to it. If you look at the PCM while its installed where the wires all come out you can read the wire numbers.

Is there a site with some photos showing pin 35 (98 C5 LS1). I've got my battery tray out now and can see lots of 'dirty' black wires, but no blue/red circuits. Do I need to pull out the computer from down below the battery?

It does for the red plug, but it's the blue one that you want.. It should show up as the Tach wire.

Does anyone have a picture of how to get 'to' pin 35 on a C5?

You could also take the easy way out and just connect the window switch to the negative side of any one of the coil packs.
