Re: Lt1/t56 VSS Help.

There should be either a tan/white or green wire that goes to the instrument cluster. That's where you connect to the speedo.

Re: Lt1/t56 VSS Help.

ok i was looking over the thirdgen wiring and theres 2 wires that run to the dash of my thirdgen for the speedo. theres a wire in the bulkhead connector and theres a grey wire under the passengerside kick panel thet used to go to the old ecm that goes to the dash as well.

One is called VSS output 4000pmi to instrument cluster for speedometer.

The other says its vss vehicle speed sensor and its in the bulkhead connector and its purple.

which one do i hook to my lt1 pcm?

Re: Lt1/t56 VSS Help.

You want green/white one that is the 4000PPM output to the instrument cluster (will either been green/white or tan). That's the one you connect the drk green/white from the C220 connector (the white one) up to for the speedo.

ok, so the one that used to go to my old 730 ecm under the kickpanel needs to ge to the green/white c220.

Anyone know what the bulk head connector vss wire does?

Re: Lt1/t56 VSS Help.

No, the wire coming from the C220 connector needs to go to the wire marked 4000PPM output (I don't think that one goes to the old ECM, it usually went from the VSS buffer box to the speedo)

Re: Lt1/t56 VSS Help.

It would have gone to the E.C.M. or a VSS buffer depending on which engine was origanlly in the car. Since he said 7730 I am assumming it was TPI and it would of went to the computer. The purple wire in the bulkhead was one of the wires from the speed sensor. There is also a yellow wire in the bulkhead.
