should be 4 wires...

1 wires into your guage panel lights fuse on the fusebox
1 for the tach reading that goes to the negative side of the ignition coil
1 for power that needs an inline fuse to the battery
1 for ground

they usually are color coded...

who made the tach

Every tach I've wired up works like this:
Red=12v switched
Black=ground
White=Illumination (put a voltmeter on it, it should drop voltage as the gauges are dimmed)
Green=tach signal, prob neg lead from coil or consult a wiring diagram
