VSS

I own a 1986 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am. It currently has an electric VSS in it that doesn't work and I don't know if it's stock. I wanted to know if these models came with a mechanical or electrical VSS stock. Keep in mind the gauge cluster is all electric and it's an automatic transmission. If it is mechanical, is there a way to convert it and if so how do I go about doing that? If it's not, could someone direct me to a place I can buy this VSS? I have pictures linked below.

Re: VSS

Your 86 is electrical speedometer. That one you have is aftermarket and styled after the 91-92 style
