Just saw this at All-Electronics - thought some here could be interested:
https://www.allelectronics.com/item/gps-8m/gps-module/1.html

No obvious PPS connection.

There may be a PPS LED where you could pick it up, but I don't see any
documentation.

Typically on the ublox chips the PPS is exposed on a pin and it's easy to
solder to that pin.

However, I've bought low-priced "8M" modules from China which turned out not
to be 8M.  One might also want to check that they are the 8M version which
can be programmed to pick up Galileo satellites if that is of interest.

I hope the OP is lucky!

Cheers,
David

Hello Hal,

The PPS signal is on pin #3 - on the lower right in the picture - you'll
see the LED and the resistor - you should be able to pick off the PPS
signal from there.

73's,

Looking closer at the picture provided at that link, it appears that pin 3 (TIMEPULSE) is broken out to a resistor and LED (toward the bottom right mounting hole). Probably still best to ask though.
