TBI to TPI swap, speedometer not working...

Well, all my other gauges work, except the speedometer. I removed the buffer box that the TBI ECM needed, but now I need to know which wire(s) I need to hook up on the gauge harness from the wires that were going to my buffer box. Thanks!

Nobody knows? Does anyone have a dash wiring diagram for a 92?

You need to connect pin B11 of the ECM to the cluster VSS input & pin C1 of the ECM to the cruise control VSS input. The schematic is attached.

Re: TBI to TPI swap, speedometer not working...

Question, my car was also converted from TBI to TPI. Originally a 91 TBI 5.0 and now it has a 90 TPI SD. My speedometer doesnt work either. Never did.LOL Where should i start looking? Should i connect a wire from a certain vss pin on my ecm directly to the vss itself? Is that what you are saying? Explain. I really want to get this thing working! thanks.
