Which of these coil wires do I connect to the signal wire for an aftermarket tachometer? Everywhere I’ve read says the tan and yellow wire but I don’t see one

I'm guessing this is on the '89... There's a way to do it and I know it's been done but not sure how... there's posts over the years of a few people getting it to work.

Myself I just got a factory tach cluster from a '89-91 ('92 was a split year for dash wiring, I don't remember the color of the circuit boards you need...) and dropped my stock speedo/odo in there and it's worked fine for the last ~23 years...
