Re: VSS to cable driver tranny?

I am using one of these on my TH350 setup with Auto Meter guages. My speedometer bounces around a little bit but I'm not sure if thats because of this sender or the guage. Either way though, the sender works good.

Edit: I forgot to mention that this sender is designed to work with Auto Meter guages and according to them will not work with factory guages.

Re: VSS to cable driver tranny?

You're right, it won't work with factory gauges because the pulse rate is wrong.

I am hoping someone will chime in with an "easier" solution. lol

I use a dakota digital sgi5 converter box and this sender http://www.summitracing.com/parts/SUM-G2887-1/, you can get the converter box from summit also. It takes a bit to get the speedo calibrated right, but it works great.
