You have to break off the little tab on the end to use them.

Since he's using a th350, it actually doesn't matter what pulse the VSS is set to. Am I wrong? Cuz the trans is not electronic, he doesn't need to specify gears or tire size for his PCM either. Just disable the trans codes altogether.

Re: 6.0 swap

Contrary to popular belief, you really do need a VSS for the engine to run right. It will run with out it, but not as well as it should, you can get stalling problems especially when coming to a stop quickly.

Anyway, here are the pics of the power brake fitting.

I know you need a VSS, I was saying it doesn't matter if it's, for example, 4000 pulse VSS or 8000 pulse VSS, since its a non electronic trans. It doesn't matter where the speed sensor is located or the number of pulses, just so PCM knows vehicle is in motion. Sorry i wasn't very clear on my statement above.
