tach install help!!

ok...This has probably been covered a time or two..lol But I looked at the sticky and searched a bit and I'm still clueless.. So here it goes..

I'm pretty sure I have the factory tach... I found my factory tach plug... it goes, grey,black,orange,black....

My tach has red,black,grey, 4 yellows of which two are ground and two hot...I did figure that out

So if any body knows which wires go where without having me look at a skimatic that I can't understand, I would be greatfull !!!!

Oh and my truck still has no battery power yet, so it is kinda tuff to test out the wires...

Thanks a bunch

Ok, I re-read it again... I still don't have a clue which way the wires plug in.. I did see a pic of the plug in another thread... it goes grey,red,orange,black...

If that holds true to my plug, I guess I run grey to grey, red to black, yellow hott wires to orange, then 2 yellow and black to outer black wire on plug... Does that sound right...
