TPI to TPI, only if some re-pinning and sensor swapping is done. If both TPI the '87 is MAF and the '92 is SD. Different animals and not directly swappable ECMs.
Can you give us a better idea of which engine EFI system is on each vehicle?
Thanks,
RBob.

The '92 TBI already has a separate VSS buffer box. This is currently driving the speedo, cruise and ECM speed inputs. Just move the one wire over to the '87 ECM VSS input.

So, the ECM doesn't control the electronic speedo??? If it does would a ECM out of a '92 TPI car work???? so that it would have the electronic speedo...?

If you use a '92 SD ECM (1227730) then the 4-out buffer box goes away. The VSS will feed the ECM directly with it feeding out to the cruise & speedo. Of course this ECM ('730) can also accept the VSS info from a 4-out buffer box if so desired.
