Can anyone tell me where the takeoff for tacho is on the TD27??? Mine doesn't have one, and looking at fitting an aftermarket one.

Try the back of the injector pump.
I don't have a diesel myslef, but seen this discussed on another forum
I can only see one wire out of the back of the injector pump which is the fuel cut solenoid, but I could be unable to see the extra one.
Remove diesel engine.
Put in petrol engine
Hook tacho up to distributor.
I have 2 TD27s. The tacho sensor for the non-turbo is on the front of the timing cover just under the alternator bracket. The turbo motor sensor was on the bottom of the timing cover under the injector pump. They are not interchangeable - ie the non turbo sensor is about 1/4 the number of pulses of the turbo and this cannot be made up by adjusting the pot in the tacho.
The best way to deal with this when replacing a standard TD27 with a Turbo motor I found is to change the timing covers.<<snip>>
