Answer
You hook it to the tach wire off the coil.  You have a ground for your tach and make sure it is connected and then probe the other two wires with a hand held tach and you will find which is sending signal.  The other option is to get into the dash and tie into the tach circuit that connects to the instrument panel.  That would be the easy way since you do not have to run a wire through the firewall.
