I just dragged this baby home 2400 miles round trip in 2 1/2 days!  Motor is a fuel injected 5.0 (302) and t-5 out of a 90 mustang....and so on....she’s quick to say the least....anyway.  Anyone figure out how to make the factory speedometer work with this set up or have a solution???  Surprisingly every thing else works!

I just used a Ford speedometer cable.  The size and thread pitch is close enough that it started to jam just as it got tight.  I am using a world class T-5 with the sensor out of a T-5 meant for a 2.3 litre Ford.  I was surprised to find the reading was within two mph at 70.  I don't remember where I purchased the cable but it was a standard Ford unit from an aftermarket supplier.
