i would make sure the battery terminals are tight, as well as all ground wires.
as for the speedometer, did you connect the vss at the tranny?

hmmm...this might be the rot to your problem. someone correct me if i'm wrong but i believe obd1 motors have 2 connectors at the distributor. when you say you are using a obd2 wire harness, do you mean a jumper harness at the ecu, or does that include the motor harness as well?

neither do i, but i do know that the tach works and is wired off of the dist. maybe that has something to do with your problem. sorry i couldn't be much help!

Yeah. Get OBD1 injectors and a distributor and wire your car properly. I guarantee it'll fix the problem.
