_I have a question for you, f-body guys. I took my 1994 Camaro z28 out for the first time yesterday and realized my speedometer isnt working nor is the odometer. Ive been reading about possibly a loose connection on the VSS? From what ive read the signal goes from the vss to the PCM then to the dash. So i figured i would start at the VSS, but im not too sure where it is located, so if anybody could point me in the right direction that would be awesome.  
Thanks,  
Jimmy_

Thanks for the help guys, both the wires coming from the plug were busted. Spliced them back together and now everything is working properly.

I actually had to cut and lengthen mine for 4L60 -\> T56 swap. Soldered and heat shrink. Hope it holds up. I hate crawling under there. Makes me wish I had a TBSS or Silverado instead. LOL
