VSS Sensor for conversion

[Scott R]

Anyone know of a VSS sensor that I can use for a 350 TBI conversion? I looked that the sensor that Downey offers, however the cost is a bit steep. Can any other junk yard type VSS be used when converting to TBI?

if youre not running an auto, you dont need it. Howell also sells them though, as do others. If you have an older auto you may also not need one.

I have so far (suspended from my engine crane) a 1987 350TBI coupled to a 4 speed LC tranny, and a three speed LC transfer case. I am worried that I will have to keep clearing the VSS code from the computer. If it's not an issue on the manual then I will just forget about it I guess.

Jags That Run has one. Woody bought one, smashed it, now does without, so I'm gonna try without until I see how it goes.

There has been talk on Pirate about running a optical sensor from a Astro instead of the magnetic one on the trans.

skip the VSS...no codes on mine. Gonna have to rehook one of these days tho, the auto will likely require it....

I did the JTR....weak POS (but they may all be, nothing to compare to.....)
