depends what version link?
older ones have a shiftlight/tach output that you can config also the 3rd ign channel is tach.

not sure with newer ones but no doubt there will be a output wire you can config to tach.

running a tacho that is designed for coil -ve signal off the link signal,
is hit and miss if it works ( mostly miss as they dont)

as the link puts out a square wave and most tacho's look for the high voltage coil -ve spike.

Get a tach adapter off a mitsi, someone on here should have one.

Yes because autogauge is a crap brand, and wont trigger off a link signal

doesn't matter as early or late, they all put out a square wave signal,
which cheap brand tacho's dont normally run off.
