Does it have the standard mechanical speedo drive or the later electronic sensor unit?

not going to be cheap. I would also look around at review.s It works and works well for most. Some folks complain of the sound when mounted under dash etc.
Other option is restomod dash that takes electronic or gps feeds. | | | | | Joined: Jul 2014 Posts: 362 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Jul 2014 Posts: 362 | Another option would be to swap on a tail housing from a mechanical speedometer S10 T5, and swap the gear on the output shaft, then add the drive gear, driven gear and bullet required to spin the cable. At one point there was someone on eBay either selling the tail housing, or selling the service of machining the electronic tail housing for mechanical speedometer use. | | | | | Joined: Apr 2016 Posts: 13 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Apr 2016 Posts: 13 | Thank you all for that info.

I want to go to hook up this configuration!! | | |
