Big step forward today for getting the car back on the road. One of the things to resolve was getting the speedometer to work. The reason it didn't work is that the driveshafts are not compatible with this ABS unit (ABS 5.3).
So my plan was to repin the ABS connector and swap the rear wheel sensor providing the speed signal with a front wheel sensor.
There was a trick which took me a little time to find out. The terminals in the connector are held in place by a little strip as well as by the regular tabs. Two strips in total, one pink, the other white. These come out from the sides:
Once these are removed, the terminal come out easily using a removal tool;
Swapped the pins I wanted to swap and put the connector back together. I did a quick test and I now see an indicated speed when I turn the front left wheel by hand. Hooray
