Default Looking for Tack signal off DME

I am currently installing the Inovate wide band O/2 sensor and adding the optional RPM signal so i can see exactly what the engine is doing at specific RPM levels. As a result, I need to know what cable coming off the DME is my tach signal so I can tie into it. I assume it is a big green one but I have three.

thanks

If you state the year and make of your 944 it helps. Some have a four pin connector that makes tapping into this signal a snap. Pin 6 on my year/model DME is the return signal for the Air flow sensor.

On the 83 944, Pin 1 from the DME supplied a signal to the coil and the tach. On 85.5 on, the tach signal was on pin 21 and was a low noise signal. The coil was still connected to pin 1.
