The only listing I have found is for the 3 Litre engine. The VSS wire is gray/black (8000 PPM) in the large harness at the center of the engine bay at the firewall. The tach wire is found at each coil. Use the one other than the WHITE/ violet. You should get a reading of 1 to 9 volts A/C on a tach lead that varies with engine RPM. I hope this helps.
