I believe you just need a feed from the negative side of the coil, connected to the rev counter feed on the dash.

I think so, rev counter wise. But you'll need the dash with the coolant temp/fuel gauges the same way round as your current dash. 88 spec dashes have them one way round and 90 spec have them the other.
