Had a look here and found a wire for the cluster harness but don't have an extra wire with filter from there to the distributor.

do you think that the filter is needed?

I was thinking i could just put splice the wire and add a connector and it would work?

You need a filter or the tach will jump.

The Filter also steps the voltage down from the coil, so your tach doesn't burn out. I wired mine directly to the coil and it worked great for about a year, then my car stated shutting off randomly. went over everything in the ignition and fuel system(new module, coil etc.) then decide to check for a short to ground in the car, turned out my tach was shorting. I now run a GLOWSHIFT H.E.I specific filter and one of their tachs.

1986monte, here's where I got my tach filter: http://www.ebay.com/itm/75-thru-89-...Parts_Accessories&hash=item45fdef4dc9&vxp=mtr

Bracket and wire colors are a little bit different, but my car isn't 100% original anyway. Haha.

I originally bought a used one and it ended up being a dud, so thankfully I found these brand new reproduction ones on ebay (for less than what I paid for the used one, ironically). Works perfectly.
