I have a 1985 Camaro that was originally a 305 TPI w/auto trans. Years ago it was converted to a T5 with a carbed engine and all wiring ripped out. Now I am putting it back to TPI and have a 1991 Firebird L98 to use as a donor for wiring.

How or what do I need to hook up the correct VSS so that the ecm gets the right signal, the cruise will work and the cable driven spedo will work?

 

http://www.tpiparts.net/inc/sdetail/7587, I assume the t5 is cable drive ? If you need any reprograming done send me a pm I can assist.

 

Thanks for finding that! Is that the only option for what I want done? Is there no factory part I could find at a junk yard?

 

If the t5 is a cable drive speedometer there is not a 4k ppm vss that will just screw on and work. Jags that run, tpi parts and painless wiring would be your choices. I just assume you are using a 1227730 ecm .

 

I have my cluster out to fix the trip odometer and see that there is a vss on the back. From what I read the older cars had a 2000 pulse signal and the 90-92 had 4000 pulse. Is there an item that will convert the 2000 pulse to 4000 pulse?...well one that would be any cheaper than the Tpiparts vss? I have all a complete 1991 Firebird I am using for parts. Is there anything off that car I could use?

 

The only other think I can think of if the brown wire from the buffer is a 2k optical signal that use to go to the ecm. The memcal can be reprogramed for a optical input and that signal would go to pin c6 on the 730 ecm. If you are wanting that done I can assist send me a pm.
