73-87 style speedo to work with a 93 t-56
i have an 86 c10 and am putting a t56 from a 93 trans am in it. i will be using my good old fasioned 2pc rms small block with an adaptor flywheel. i know that later years of this bodystyle suburbans have an electronic speedo however i dont know much about them, is there a way to wire that speedo into my t56 signal output? if so how if not how do i get my speedo to work???
thanks Wade |

So right now you have a mechanical speedo with a transmission that produces an electronic signal output?
What I did on my truck was purchased a "Cable-X" box from tachman1 on eBay. Do a search for "cable-x speedometer". However, this is an expensive route ($300+). But it's easy to hook up -- 3 wires (12V+, ground, VSS from trans). And some dip switches to determine your pulse rate based on your gear ratio and tire size. There may be others who know how to swap in a speedo gear drive into the transmission, but it's going to be some work on the transmission side. And I bet this kit is as much or more than the Cable-X. The final option would be to somehow make a hybrid speedometer in your dash using parts from an electronic speedo. |
