Where do I hook up my tachometer? CCC quadrajet

I know the dwell connector is the green terminal floating in front of the carb, but where do I connect the terminals to a tachometer? I want to set my idle but I dont know how to connect the tach.
Thanks,
Homer

if you switched from tpi to carb it will be the stock WHITE wire, however if not on the carb there is a connector callled TACH that you would connect that to.....

Nah you're both wrong... you hook the tack to one of the solenoid wires that connects to the carb!! Or was it one the wires that go in his high beam headlights... hmm.. now I'm all confused...
