Fricken Speedo Cable

Is there an option for an electric speedo drive for a factory speedo or are you guys using Autometer gauges.

There's no option that I'm aware of that allows you retain use of your OE speedometer.... and make it electonic. The posts thus far have all been refering to aftermarket Autometer type gauges. Aftermarket gauges can be bought in mechanical or electronic models with the electronic models being roughly 2-2.5 times the price of a mechanical.

There are two converter boxes that convert electronic output from the trans to the mechanical speedometer in your dash....assuming that is what he's asking about. The Abbott is not cheap and the Terf isn't available to the public yet (still in testing)
