you can try this, this is to hook up a remote start. Im not sure if this tach wire is the same
CHEVROLET, CAMARO, 1995, Tachometer

White-V6, red/black-V8. Location is front of left cylinder head for V6 and at a 4 pin plug at the passenger side valve cover for the V8.

no no, your all wrong. i just put my tach in. The best place to connect the green wire off an aftermarket tach is to the computer. GM uses a white wire off the "red" connector as a TACH OUT. This will be the most accurate place to connect any aftermarket tach. It is best cause LT1 stock tachs are about 200 RPM's fast. You will have to pull the computer to get to it

Harlan told me. "Stock, there is a tach signal available at the PCM.
It should be on the black PCM connector, pin 13. It's
a white wire."
