",, I stil don't understand why there is three tabs on each fuse block.
Also, I notice that on each fuse there were about three prongs lined up in which I could connet wires to from front to back...front being closest to me as I'm peering in the fuse box."

If you can imagine seeing them in a side view, wires in your right, the top 2 connectors are on the fused OUTPUT side (Right fuse contact). The bottom connector runs under the fuse to the hot INPUT side (Left fuse contact).

To have your tach getting "fused" power, use either of the Top 2 terminals ( brass "piggy-back" add on terminals are available at Radio Shack if there are no vacant ones). Use the one B.C. suggested.

Adding the tach to the fuse's load is like a fly landing on a garbage truck.
