Tachometer connects to the blue wire at the cluster. All versions have this wire even those without factory tach.

Vacuum you can connect anywhere on the manifold I suggest teeing into the hose to the cruise control or the purge valve (the valve inbetween the canister on the firewall and the manifold, tap the manifold side).
