Autometer Speedometer install

[seth]

I am installing the Autometer Speedometer (the electronic version)... How is everyone working this out... dose the autometer sender work? http://store.summitracing.com/default.asp?target=partdetail.asp&autofilter=1&Ntt=5292&N=0&part=ATM%2D5292&autoview=sku&Ntk=KeywordSearch

 

I am using the B/W T5...

That looks like it will work. Most of us that use the electronic speedo do so because there is no mechanial hookup, like a T-56.

In all the times I've used an inline pulse generator it has never functioned as intended. My applications were requiring the 40 pulse for a GM OBDII ECM (V6 and V8 engines). I ended up modifying the tranny to accept a reluctor gear and VSS. That said, there is a simple generator which consist of a magnet glued to the driveshaft and a small coil located on a bracket which creates a pulse each rotation on the shaft. It works well with an electronic speedo and you can cap the cable output on the tranny. I'll try to figure out where I purchased mine if there is interest. I do have an unused one somewhere in the garage too that I'd sell. It's just a thought...

if you call autometer, ask them to refer you to a speedometer shop in milwakee(?) that does 3rd party electronic speedo senders for other makes. That's how I got one for an autometer elec. speedo for an rx7 transmission (a cable one to start with)

That sounds really good actually. If you find yours I would be very interested, or just let me know where you picked it up. I was thinking that would probably be the cheap and easy solution. Other wise I may have to take aux's advice, witch doesn't seem that bad either.
