Read that link. It lists the "Tach" wire but Im not sure if that is the same thing as the Speedo wire. the site I linked to is a good resource, I found my VSS info on there bc I was freaking out that I couldnt find it. Keep searching on that site. FYI, a very simple google search brought that up so keep looking on google then come back here if you truly cant find it.

Tach is NOT the same as speed sense. Here's what I have listed for a 96 7series
