t56 conversion questions

i am doing a t56 swap and have some problems. i have a mechanical speedo since it is a 1989 rs, and it has the optical VSS, i am putting in a t56 which is set up for an electrical speedometer. what is the cheapest way i can convert it so i dont have problems between the VSS and the ECM. because i heard on another thread that a guy fried his ECM because the speedometer wasnt converted right. can anyone help me please, thanks.

You can either get an aftermarket speedo.

Have the tail housing machined to work with cable driven speedo (Contact ALLOY here on the forum).

Get a converter box to go from electrical to mechanical.

Read the T56 swap sticky thread at the top of this forum.

Twice.

Slowly.
