I don't have a manual handy (haven't been in that biz for a few years now),
but here are some tricks.

- You can always find the tach wire at the coil under the hood. Then it
will just be 1 of 4 wires to test instead of 100.

- Use a DMM to verify it is the tach. Set DMM to read A/C voltage. Attach
positive probe to positive side of battery. Use negative probe to test and
see if target wire is tach. DMM should display close to actual RPM when you
find the right wire.
