vss question
Can I still get a reading from my vss without the ecm, if not then what other options do I have besides running a cable operated speedo?

Re: vss question
87 TPI auto, just want to eliminate the stock ecm, but want to still have speedometer working.
Whats needed or it will just work like that, from vss to buffer box to speedometer?

Re: vss question
The buffer box on my 91 V6 Bird is on the passenger side directly behind the dash where the map pocket goes. It was between the plastic dash and the matal backing. It is almost beside the ECM.
