ECM vss input

I am in the middle to end of putting a sbc 400 in my 72 Blazer. I have just about everything worked out and working, except I can not get a seep signal to the computer. I am useing a 4 ppr vss into a drac into the computer. I can't seem to find the info on how to diagnose the components,mainly the drac output signals.

What computer are you using?
The VSS wiring to computer varies by ECM type

Re: ECM vss input

Its an ebl flash, 747 computer. I am mostly looking for what voltage I should see out of the drac. I did some more testing and I think I have two bad dracs. I get a poor square wave out of them, but when I tap them the signal changes.

Re: ECM vss input

I thought the drac uses 20ppm input? can you change it from your 4k to a 2k and uses a vss buffer to get the optical 2k to the ecm? if not looks like dakota digital sgi-5 would be the answer.

Re: ECM vss input

I made a mistake, its the output that I was looking for. With a little more digging and googling the question diferently I think I found the answere that makes the most sense. The drac output is a 5 volt dc square wave. If this is true I can now dig thruogh more junk and find one that works.
