I am replacing an old Astratech system with a DL1+Dash 1 Combination. The Astratech has wheel speed, RPM and Throttle position sensors. With the TPS, I was wondering if I should be able to connect it straight into the DL1 rather than replacing it.
Not much need I guess for the wheel speed sensor given the DL1 GPS.

You should be able to interface the throttle position sensor to the DL1. Most are 3 wires, attach it to the DL1 ground and +5V, and to an analog input. (Assuming it's an add on, not part of the ECU system).
Assuming that the wheel speed sensor is a pulse generator, you can probably interface it as well. Though, as Andy said, you probably won't get much benefit, as the GPS is a better speed measurement anyway, and is what our Analysis software will use. Wheel speed can be useful for looking at spin or lockup, of course.
