TBI to TPI swap VSS ??

I have discovered that the VSS sensor is not wired into the TPI ECM. I have the 4L60E tranny, so I must use both the TBI and the TPI ECMs.
Since there is no VSS in the TPI, it is causing the computer to always use the same BLM/Fuel Trim cell all the time. And possibly some cold start idle problems.

The trick is that the TBI VSS sensor is 2-pulse, but the '92 TPI setup VSS sensor is 4-pulse. Is there a way to splice the current 2-pulse wire running to the tranny TBI ECM, and run it into the TPI ECM and get the correct reading but adding something inline on the wire??

Cyberdyne, makers of famous digital dashes, make a VSS black box that does pulse conversion. You can find an Ad for CyberDyne on the back of Any "Street Rodder" magazine, or "Custom Rodder".
