Speedometer/VSS

I have a 1989 IROC 305 TPI, driving home the speedo bounced wildly one time and went to zero, check engine light came on, and car stalled when I came to a stop. Code 24 was indicated for VS. I'm not sure how all this works. Does the speedo cable drive the speedo and VSS or what? Please help this is my first gen 3.

My guess is that the speedo cable broke (or a drive and/or driven gear), which set off the VSS code.
