Yes, I believe only one conductor is needed to come from the engine. 
The tach will probably also need power and ground, but those can be 
sourced from the dash area.

Probably varies by maker.

I don't think there are any easy routes. On a '69 I think the best 
way might be to snake the wire alongside the center brake line, but 
that's not as simple as it might sound.

Another possibility would be alongside the wires to the starter.

Both are difficult, because what appears to be a simple grommet thru 
a panel, actually turns out to be 2 grommets and 2 panels with about 
4" of separation between panels. A LONG sewing needle, might be able 
to find its way thru.
