Dakota Digital SGI-5e - 1991 rs 305
I just wired a new SGI-5e to correct my speedo after changing to a posi rear with different gears. My speedo finally reads correct!
I used a few other threads for reference but I had to piece some information together so I figured I would make an updated post.
First, In my 91, I found that the VSS unit had a slightly different pinout than in the below thread, but the diagram was helpful.

The wire colors all matched my car, only difference was the 12V power and ground (corect colors) but were in the reverse locations.
I followed the instructions in this thread for the most part, https://www.thirdgen.org/forums/electronics/661936-1992-tbi-700r4-dakota.html but did want to note some differences.
I tapped into power and ground according to wire color (pink/black is 12v and black/white ground), also the same yellow wire should be cut and looped through the SGI-5e. From the harness, the yellow wire goes to the "Signal In" on the SGI-5e, but instead of using "Output 4" as stated in the thread, I used "Output 1" to go into the VSS unit. "Output 1" is the calibrated AC Output that allows you to manipulate the speedo reading.
Other than that it is a super easy install, just thought I would make a few notes here to help anyone looking to wire in one of these new "E" version units.
