91 is a great year for this, given it has an electronic speedometer.

The oil pressure, fuel level, coolant temp are directly compatible. Add a '98 coolant temp sending unit to your LS1 and you'll have gauge output.

Tach requires some black-box electronics to be accurate, as the LS1 PCM returns a 4cyl waveform.

Speedo may work directly with the 4k pulse/mile PCM output, but I'm not positive. MrDude_1 should probably know the answer on this one, PM or email him if he doesn't jump in.

the only thing you need to buy is a tach adapter.
the LS1 puts out a 4cyl tach signal. the 91 tach is expecting a V8 tach signal.
you can get a box from baker electronics to fix that for $35.


if you had TBI:

your stock 4000PPM (pulse per mile) speedo signal went to a buffer box. the buffer box then split it into a 2000PPM and 4000PPM signals for cruise, ECM and speedo..

if you had TPI:

the 4000PPM speedo signal went directly into the ECM. the ECM outputs the 2000PPM for the cruise and 4000PPM for the speedo


you can feed the LS1 4000PPM output directly to the speedo and it works.

this is probly the most useful thing you'll ever get online for your car, lol :

I hate to keep busting on you, but this is illegal. You shouldn't be putting this board at risk using it to break the law.
