I think you will get some help if you go back and edit your post.
It is one big run on sentence that seems to resemble a crossword puzzle.

Re: tpi swap help needed
You might need the VSS Buffer. 90-92 TPI cars had it built into the ECM (not sure if the V6 and TBI cars had in the ecm or not).

Do you have access to a scanner to see if the ECM is getting a speed reading from the trans?

Re: tpi swap help needed
I'll look in my service manual for the schematic and post a picture of it.
It will be late tomorrow night.
I just finished swapping out my clutch master cylinder and am about to jump in the shower then hit the sack (shot two weddings today and finished up my car. I am beat.)
tomorrow I'll be getting up early for the autocross (be there at 7:30am), then off to a birthday party/cookout.
