I am in a little bit of a quandry and hope for some help here. I am working on my 70 Corvette. I need a VSS pulse generator for my LS swap. My trans is a Tremec (Ford) 5 speed by Keisler. I have a Dakota Digital SEN-01-2 that will work with the trans to make the signal that I can use. Thats all good. The problem is that I need a pass through to keep my stock speedometer working. I have an email sent to Dakota Digital asking if the generator for the SEN-01-4160 will mate up with the coupler from the SEN-01-2.

Coupler for SEN-01-2


SEN-01-4160


Does this make sense? Does it sound like it will work?

Does your corvette by chance has cruise control?
If it does Keisler should have supplied you with an fitting on the transmission to attach your stock cable. Hook it up as you normally would and put the pulse generator up on the cruise tranducer cable connections. Even if that setup your looking at would work (and I don't think it will), I don't think you get it to fit down at the tranny

Joe,
Never really wanted cruise control but for this reason, I wish my car had cruise. So, no, there is no cruise on my vette. Not even sure you could get it in 1970. I too was worried about the setup up I mentioned above fitting in the tunnel. I am still looking at different things that may work. I saw last night on Jags That Run some 90 degree fittings that work at the trans. I may investigate that a little closer and see if they have one that will work on a Ford style trans.

Hey Eddie, saw your post on CF. Looks like all the DD VSS's are the same with just different adapters. When I got mine, I got a short cable to drive it because of lack of clearance. You dont even need the adapter with it. I'm sure they sell one for fords too. I'll bet the ford drive cabl will screw onto the GM pass thru VSS, then screw onto your GM speedo cable.
BTW, pretty much everyone who converted the TKO or 3550, and probably the T45 offer a ford to GM speedo output converter. Just another option.

Hey Gary!! I like the idea of the short ford cable. Wonder if DD sells one? That would work with the pass through and give me everything I need. I may just have to call them next week and see what I can work out with them.

Thanks for the idea.

Just call these people up and tell them what type of cable and length you need. They will make it for you.

Thanks for the link. I may have to use that. I've added it to my bookmarks.
