CT/FL depends on how i feel
ok well I have the ulev motor.. and by using many of the write ups I found on here by badger and a few others I was able to get my car running with the manual computer, and my reverse lights wired... the problem I am having is with the speedo and vtec.. I depinned D10 to C 23 like posted on here, I have the VSS wiring harness grounded, and spliced with the distributor, also like posted on here, the main problem I am having is that in badgers write up there is said to have a blue and white wire found behind the pass fuse box which I cannot find to save my life, I also pulled my cluster out and cannot locate a blue and white wire plugged into the speedo.. I have been searching and searching and I can't figure it out. I looked at the haynes manual and sure enough it does show a blue and white wire that is said to be vss.. any ideas... maybe a picture of the way its supposed to go or a drawing in crayon or somethin?!?!

Ignore the wires behind the fuse box. I went over that part many, many times and it makes zero sense on what was going on there or what was trying to be accomplished. All I've done is depinned and repinned the signal wire, made my ground, and still need to hook up the power for the VSS.

and dont to get it to power you just need to connect it to the positive terminal on the battery. or would that just blow ur speedo in the cluster.
so its just depin ground nd power easy as that
