V8 T5 swap

I'm swapping a 305 with a T5 into a 90 firebird that has a 3.1 auto. The firebird has a electric speedo. The t5 is coming out of an 85 TA, cable speedo. Does anyone know what i need to make the electric speedo work??

You need a sending unit from an 86-up Firebird T5 that has the electric speedo.

Yep, replace the cable driven unit with the electronic sender unit, it's just held in there with 1 bolt.
