It's the black wire(closest to centre of car) on the dash plug closest to the driver's door.

Corolla's don't have potentiometers on tachs. Had mine out the other day trying to get mine to work with 5v squarewave shit. Didn't work but I got an oscilloscope coming so I'll fix him soon.

coil neg tachs don't normally work off 5v squarewave. You sure you didn't have a tacho 'booster'?

Yair thats the one, use an old relay with the guts removed for tacho boost.
