Speed wire from 83-84 cluster?

December 30, 2009, 07:15:24 PM

Does anybody know the color/location of the wire to tap for speed info coming from the instrument cluster? I only have an 86 EVTM and Coolcats only has the info for 85-88. This is pertaining to a Tripminder install. Thanks!

I have the answer for you! I snagged an electronic cluster from a 1980 Tbird along with the connector with some wire and examined all the connections and how they route on the printed circuit on the back of the cluster. The speed pulse input wire to the speedo is in fact dark green/white the same as what is listed for 1985-88 electronic clusters. That is also the same color of the speed input wire going to the Tripminder. Check out the info on Cool Cats:
