Ive converted TBI trucks before its a real pain. i had to fabricate a second vss on the slip yoke if you try to piggyback on the 4L60E vss it screws up the signal to the computer and the trans will not shift out of first. might be easier to buy autometer gauges and a dash from covan classics.
Covan's sells replacement dashes for 91's? I only found up to '87 pickups.
