VSS to speedometer wiring ? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

My Omega Kustoms gauge instructions say to wire the VSS directly to the speedometer and then calibrate the speedo.
Only, I can't wire them straight to the speedo - they need to reach the computer, after all.
My thinking is that I can splice in another twisted pair of wires from the vss to the gauges & that will be fine, as the computer is looking for an amount of voltage (not amperage) which won't be changed by feeding the speedo too.
Am I right, here? Or am I going to screw the pooch by trying this?
