SGI-5 C Digital Dakota Box for Speedometer conversion
I have a Digital Dakota SGI-5C box. The box is in like-new condition. I used it for a little while when I had a 700R4 connected to my LT1, though you can use it to convert a very broad range of VSS signals. I bought it for $80, looking to sell it for $50. It was going to be a temporary solution since I was eventually going to swap in a T56 but ended up selling the car first. It's small and light so I will pay the shipping, as long as you don't live a planet away from me.

Re: SGI-5 C Digital Dakota Box for Speedometer conversion
Possibly, do you know what pulses per mile you are trying to convert to/from?
Here is the manufacturers page: http://www.dakotadigital.com/index.c...rod/prd126.htm
And here is the setup guide:

Maybe one of those will give you a good idea of what it can do... i'm not familiar with the LS1 PCM or the TH400 so I don't want to tell you it won't work when it will or vice versa.. But i'm sure someone else on here can chime in who has real-life experience with that scenario.

From the looks of the manufacturer's description page it seems like it covers just about anything... With a little math, time, trial and error I would guess that you could get it to work right.

Yep, I still got it... sitting on my computer desk. Paypal works, I'll send you the address in a PM, i don't trust an email address in plain text on a forum because of spam bots!!
