TPS
According to the print i have for my 1990 454SS..
The center wire is the input to the ecm, dk blue-wht.
'top' wire is sense return , blk
'bottom' wire is ref voltage, gry
I would say hook it up, making sure the center wire is the return to the ecm, and turn the key on, do not start it, and watch the reported TPS with scanner, or put a meter on it. voltage should go up, to the ecm, with more throttle. if it's backwards, swap the black and gray wires (the outside wires).
