    Without an E-trans it is plausable. You can turn off VSS error, a manual trans bin file would probably be a better start. Just looked through $EE mask and looks like it would be easier then others I have done. May take some tweaking to get right. You'll be better off getting cable and flashing software you need for this project. Mailing a flashing is going to be expensive and a PIA with little changes and testing for no VSS.

    PowerGlide? Is this a race car? Just don't see them used anywhere else anymore.

    Well... that's a little tricky as the only Manual bins are for Corvette and Camaro/Y and F body and they have aluminum heads. So lot's of changes. I have one here that is 95 Corvette Manual that I built with all B body/Steel Head paremeters. I beleive CCP, Air Pump,VATS and EGR are turned off. So should be good start for ya!

    Do yourself a favor and install a VSS.

    In EVERY instance where I initially installed an EFI system without VSS, then added it, the vehicle has ran MUCH better with the VSS than without.

    There are inline VSS that get installed at the trans (usually) and use the original cable drive for the VSS, that also has a connection for the original speedo cable. It does not take long to install, but the benefits will be great.

    Depending on the car, there may already be a park/neutral switch attached to the steering column, or some aftermarket shifters will have places to mount switches to for this purpose.

    He's right, the VSS is a good sensor! So is park. These all add up to better drivability.

    The LT1 PCM is forgiving with VSS. No buffer/VSSB/DRAC Just wire it to PCM and adjust to pulse. Manual has 2k, Auto 40K and some six speeds 17k and I know the Dakota Digatal 8k works. So do others.

    I'm sure it does, haven't seen to many cars with auto trans that will start in gear. But you won't need the park wire with this bin as it's manual, so the Park/Neutral - In Gear routine is not there. The reason I put this bin together is I could not make an Auto Bin run an LT1 engine correctly without an E-trans. Kept going into Limp Home Mode/LHM. If you compare a LT1 Auto to Manual bin there are many unidentified Items, meaning Paremeters that are not in the mask/XDF.

    Read this:
    http://www.gearhead-efi.com/Fuel-Inj...is-a-must-read

    Here's the mask/XDF file to view the bin and the ADX file to record data:

    Then you will need TunerCat WinFlash for $20.
