I would divide by 24, that is every time the vss edge changes 24 times, toggle the output pin, set pulses to a sane 5000/mi. Lunch off the existing 5v supply and intercept the vss, no oscillator required if vss is interrupt driven. @ 8mhz you have about 3000 cpu cycles to sort each edge out @ 78mph.
I would say thats the issue as well, although I would like somebody who is experienced with the code to let me know if it is.

Surely I can just use a freq divider on the VSS signal to keep it seperate from the mpguino? Im no good with IDE like the arduino, and OK with electronics (if following instructions )
