electric or mechanical speedo?

I have a 90 formula with a t-5 in it, im doing a new cluster since none of my gauges ever worked, would i have to use an electric speedo since the sender is electric stock, or can i use a mechanical?

you can use mechanical, butyou would need to change the sender on the trans to a mechanical type and run the speedo cable.

keep the electric IMO

Where do you get a converter for elctronic - cable driven? I need one for my swap to keep my stock gauges.
