Piece of cake, the red/blue wire has a + at the base of the terminal, it goes to a switched positive at the fuse block, #12 is usually a good choice. the "G" gets a signal from the red/white wire behind the instruments, you can also run a longer wire out to the #1 terminal of the coil. The black wire from the light and the wire from the - terminal goes to any ground screw, I usually use the large screw at the upper left corner of the center console. Power for the light is taken from any of the brown wires to the lights in the center console. Setup this way the light will dim with the rest of the instruments and the tach will only get power when the car is on. The light in the tach may be bad, most are by now, it is available at any import parts house, it's a 12v 2w take the old one in and they should be able to find it.
Good luck.
