just tap into the wire that goes to the neg side of coil usually on the tfi coils if you look close to the sides it'll be labled with a + or - if not the color of the wire should beT/Y = TAN/YELLOW

that's because I looked it up as a 1990 on my data base here at work and then I saw you had a 92 =different color code for that year...... the red with green for your model year would be the positive side. sorry for the confusion my fault!!
