Default Autometer HELP

Hey everyone. I am new to this forum and new to mustangs. I recently bought a 95 mustang gt. I am also in the process of rebuilding the car and restoring it to great condition. I need help installing two gauges I bought from autometer, a dpic and a mini tach. What is the best way to go about installing aftermarket gauges and which wire is the tach wire behind the gauge cluster? I have used the search function and can't seem to find a writeup or any details. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

run right to the coil for the tach....i think it's the green one

best way is to use a pod that u like to mount the 2 gauges wherever u like.

they have pillar mount pods, hood mount pods, dash mount pods(1 goes in the heater vent right there)

look a round you'll see one u ike best. a fuel pressure gauge needs to be outside the car unless you use a separator to keep the fuel on the outside, but also keep in mind that liquid filled gauges are best for stuff like that

run all NEW wiring , don't use any existing stuff

Hooked up the gauges ok, but I still can't find the tach wire. I've heard five different colors so far. You sure its green? Where is the best location to tap into it?
