I'm curious why you would want to convert an electrical signal coming from the tranny's sending unit to a mechanical speedo. I don't believe that can be done. If the issue is you have a mechanical speedo, then the best thing to do is convert to an electrical speedo. I can help you out with that.

You may also be able to remove your electrical sending unit from the tranny and put in a cable unit.

If this is not what you're attempting to do, please clarify....

A company makes a device that does exactly what you want. I know because I am looking at the same thing. It's called Cable-X.
Just google it and you'll find it. It takes the vss signal and converts it so that your mechanical speedometer can work. I think it can be reprogrammed for different wheel sizes and gear ratios also.
