Default 85 c4 vss question

I just bought this 85 and speedo dosen't work? The problem is the vss is same style out of 94-96 automatic and wire harness has been spliced to fit it. I read about gears being plastic but gear on tail shaft is straight cut metal or alum. not plastic. What should gear look like? I bought vss listed for vehicle but it has no gear. How do i find out what is correct gear? last does anyone know where I can find a parts diagram/pictures of the tailshaft and internal, I just am nervous some one may have changed it? Thanks

Sounds like someone has swapped the output shaft for one from a truck or later model .I don't believe you can fit plastic gears on those shafts.You need to know what diff gears you have to buy correct speedo gears

the early tpi's had a 2k generator the laters had a 4k

when you pull the vss out hook a drill up to it and turn your ignition on and spin it and it should work. Your can feel the gear inside the vss hole and see with a flashlight.
