what did you have to do for the factory speedometer to work going to the 80e swap? i got all my mounts and brackets that you pm'd me the numbers for a couple months back and am ready to set my 4.8 in my 90' and start building pipes for the 76mm. im also putting a 80e in it and was wondering what id have to do for the speedo to work. my 90' has the moon style guages just as yours...

I used this box and got the speed signal by just tapping into the VSS sensor wires, the signal from the pcm didn't work for some reason...

Not sure on that but probably so, I actually hooked the SGI-5 box to the factory vss wires from the 89 body.

This way I could use the stock 89 cruise control if I would want to.
