Where to connect the tacho meter...?

I know how to connect a tacho meter on a gasser, but where do I connect it on my truck, a diesel? Its simple on a gasser, just hook up on the negative connection on the coil and you got it, but I'm not that sure on a diesel... I have no engine RPM reading and thinking I might need one so I just wonder where to connectthe wires. where do the "coil" connection hook up?... Can I use the RPM sensor already there? Or is it something else I shall use?
