Re: 91 gauges in 85

if they cut the connectors, then a pin out isnt gonna help you. just go by wire color.

on a side note, youll need a vss buffer box since the vss signal was sent through the ecm on the 91 and then the buffered signal was sent from the ecm to the speedo. a 90-92 305 tbi will have one you can use.
