88 TPI into a non vats trans am?
Hello everybody,
Im putting an 88 tpi setup into my 83 non vats trans am. Do i need to do any bypass wiring to the computer? Im not sure if 88 was a vats year. Also is there any special wiring i have to do to incorporate the 88 wiring into my stock 83 console wiring? thanks P.s. i tried to search, but i didnt exactly know how to word my search so it would show the results pertaining to my problem.

No VATS til '89. You're safe as far as that's concerned.

The biggest question as I see it is the C100 connector. Will it need to be repinned? Get a wiring diagram of both 88 V8 TPI and your original 83 C100 connectors.
I seem to remember finding wiring pinouts on here somewhere for LT or LS swaps. That is where I found out about mine.
