Is it even possible? I have an 92' gauge cluster(RS) and threw in a 87 LB9 engine along with a T-5 from an 85' Z28. Transmission is in excellent shape so I'm keeping it. I'd rather stick with the 92' electrical gauge cluster, Is there a conversion that's popular that'll help me work both units?

I use a 4 pulse speed sensor that I got from JTR. It screws onto the speedometer gear on the transmission and allows me to use the speedometer cable too.

If you have a VSS then you just need this sensor. I connected mine to the ECM so that the Camaro fuel injection would work in my truck. I still have the cable drive speedometer, so I needed the cable too. You might be able to use the Auto Meter speed sensor for yours. I have one in my '69 Camaro with the electric Auto Meter speedometer.
