Default Need a little help

I'm rewiring a 72 with a ls1 in it for a friend of mine and I need to know which wire to tap into for the speedometer and tach, both are autometer guages. Thanks in advance.

Boy you were a bundle of useless *** information, I need to know what wire is the signal for the tach and speedometer. And no I'm not a wiring guru as you refered to me I actually don't know much about wiring this type of stuff up as I don't really mess with the ls stuff much hints why I asked the question. So if you don't have a answer to my question keep your dumb goddamn comments to yourself.

If your engine is a 99-02 LS1 with the 411 ECM. The pin out can be found in the FAQ section. Also for other years and models of other engines.

But connector Red 50 is the VSS Signal and Red 10 is the the Tach outputs for the PCM for an LS1.

Hope that is what your looking for... I've attached a little jpg file with some wiring pin outs that are used for the LS1 and what I did.
