you have to buy the tach adapter and splice the coils wire, the part number is 9117 its a tach adapter, i bought it for 70 bucks and make sure you put it on the right cylinder setting, nno other way to do it beleive me i have tried all the "other ways"
any questions feel free to ask

hey you will need the tach adaoptor and i bleive it sthe brown wire you cut for the 4 cylinder but double check on that and I am also trying to figure out which 12 v ignition wire to attach the red to and which 12v light wire i need to connect theme to to get it to work i have an 03 sunfire i have looked but nothing this specific i have found yet and got tired of looking after 100 pages
the tach adapter splices INLINE of the coil hot. as in there's one wire that supplies the power for the coils. cut this wire, the side coming from the ecm goes to the red wire on the adapter, the red+stripe on the adapter goes to the other part of the wire you cut. the other three wires on the adapter are
black - constant ground
grey - tach signal
odd coloured - key on hot

He might not need a tach adapter. On my 96 there was a spot on the under hood fuse block simply labeled "TACH". I've only seen this on a few and never on anything newer than 97, but my 96Z did have this spot. Take a look. If you got it, you save yourself the money on the adapter.

i have a 97 Z24 and i have that empty fuse slot under my hood noticed it the other day. How do you use that for a aftermarket tach?

of ot has a connector in it, thats where your tach signal feed is. on my 96, i have the spot, but no wire. if you have a z you have a factory tach, why add another?

i have that fuse slot so all i have to do is hook my tach signal to it and then bam im ready to go. Its not a z and no tach already.
there most likely wont be any connector in that slot. i took my fuse box apart to hide the wire that would be going to it, only to find out that there's no connector there, just an empty slot. you actually have to look into the hole and see whether or not there's a connector like you'd see if there was supposed to be a fuse there, i doubt there will be.
