Aftermarket in dash Speedo's

I recently did the t56 swap and I ran into some problems as far as the speedometer. At first I bought a 90' Camaro Cluster and then came to find out that I would have to swap in a entire dash. Well, I scratched that idea. Has anyone got any Autometer or aftermarket electronic in dash speedos installed in a cable driven cluster? I do have the SGI-5 Dakota calibration box, however, with the Autometers I think there adjustable. But I was just wondering if anyone has done that, and if so, direct me on which speedo to get.

Thanks
Joe

yes it should work.

i talked with autometer, their electric speedos are calibrated after you intall. you basicly hit a button, then drive exactly 2 miles, and hit the button again. and BOOM it is callibrated.
