has something to do with the check engine light. I pretty sure it is there to turn on the check engine light every 50k miles for cat converter inspection or something like that.

My car is carbed. I though it might be the vss buffer box. The car had cruise control. I'm just not sure if this car has a vss.

Re: please help me identify this connector

Ok i found this picture of the 83 VSS. I'm doing a tpi swap and need a 2k vss signal for the computer. Does anyone know the pinout or which wire i need to tap to get that 2k pulse signal?

You can't use that vss with TPI, buy a inline speedo cable VSS
