How do you hook up A T56 to a set of mechincal guages?

So how does someon go about connecting a 94 modified viper T56 tranny to a set of mechinacl guages. Or a set of some eletric guages. Any and all help is appreciated.

For your info its going into a 34 ford 3 window. with a quick change rear end and a monster of a motor my fathers friend built.

You talking about the speedo? A T56 uses an electronic speedo sender. It's possible to put a mechanical drive on one. I think JTR has the parts.

There is a company that makes an electrical to mechanical conversion box. I don't remember the name but I was looking into a similar thing a few years back. I think it was about $200 or so. Hope this helps

 

Hoboy could you possibly find the name of the company that made that kit. I'm looking to put some older guages in it so to have a proven system would be nice. Thanks

 

Hey eph that was too long ago. Now what was the question again? Seriouslt though I had seen it in a catalog for doing what you want. Maybe a good trans shop might have the contact. It took the electrical pulses and drove a cable that conects to the speeo head. Hope this helps.

 

Yea me, too I can't think of the company. But for some reason the name "Cable X" comes to mind. Find the outfit that make that, and I think they'll have what you need.

Just googled it. Go here
