Default Speedo Conversion

I used a T56 in a 62 Vette. The transmission was converted to drive a cable. I used the 62 speedo and 62 cable.

I found the conversion kit on the web at Jags That Run.

I am doing a second early 60s car and converting the speedo to electronic. Actually Hollwood Speedometer is converting the speedo.
