Re: gauge question

Have you seen Classic Instruments GPS based speedo driver? I think it's supposed to work with all electronic speedos.

Re: gauge question

No i havent looked at those yet i will take a look.Thanks .I guess my concern is they make two styles of gauges mecanical speedo which requires a cable. My trans is out of an 88 pont which originaly came with a electronic computer controled trans And speedo .I cant use the mecanical unit So should i be purchasing the electonic and will the gauges come with the speedo sender for the trans .I am just trying to determan if i need to purchase a different type of sender for the speedo or do i use the original one already on the trans tail shaft .Tony
