        ^^You can pull the VSS out of the EGT trans and use the Capri XR2 cable

        Probe's use a VSS as well and i just pulled it out of the trans and stuck in the Capri XR2 cable that i have, G series tranny's are remarkably interchangable

        2008 Ford Escape - Rollover Survivor

        1990 Festiva - First Ever Completed KLZE swap (SOLD)

        If no one from the future stops you from doing it, how bad of a decision can it really be?

          Can we use the VSS on an F3A for cruise control?

                Made a first prototype cable/hydro converter. It would sit above the cable. Worked good in a mock up, but needs refined. Vid below

                    I'd give the video 4 out of 5 stars.

                    It needs a soundtrack. Perhaps Led Zepplin's "whole lot of love":eeeeeek:

                          fyi im thinking of doing a bp build. maybe someone could send me the bp swap buide from the n/a swaps sticky to joecampb3ll@gmail.com. I cant read it from the forum.
                          anyways,
                          why did you have to use glue? I would imagine, using the stock timing belt cover from the escort would be the way to go?

                              Fresh, that is some incredible ingenuity and excellent fab skills. Your BP is absolutely gorgeous, is it paint or just sand blasted and cleared?

                                Thanks a lot ! The motor was degreased, powerwashed and hand scrubbed the best I could, then painted with high temp paint. Every chance I get I'll paint or switch out some old crusty hardware with a newer looking replacement, esp. in those areas you see the most.
