Default Tach Hook up?

Need information on how to hook up a tachometer to a 1990 5.9 cummins engine. The truck never came with one. I would like to install one.Thanks

summit racing has diesel tach's... they have a clamp around the altinator for a pickup and work really well, the other option, dakota digital has an electronic box with a sensor that goes in the bellhousing, that will let you run any kind of gas tach you want, thats what i run in my 75 with my autometer gauges, picked it up on ebay for $100
