Default 1989 Buick century. Gauge cluster questions

I have the 3.3l v6 model. I only have gas and speed gauges, Nothing on the dash works except the lights. and I’d like to install a tach. I was wondering if anyone could give me some tips. Will probably just buy a dash from eBay but not sure how to go about installing a tach

Very little but I’m learning, I understand how to install a tach, I just need help figuring out where to plug the tach input wire.
