Hello all, we have decided to pull this off the back burner and get back at it. Let review, we have a working prototype, have upgraded the motor (need to test it more) have a circuit board printed, and a component list. Not going to lie, yes its a slow process, yes we want it to work, but want a perfect product. We will keep you all posted......now back to work...(evil mad scientist laugh)......

SO is this gonna be a DIY box with a parts list and you sell a board? Im gonna need to remedy this issue in a few months. Ive got an olds with the 120deg sweep speedo and im hesitant to buy a cable X for reliability reasons, and the fact its so damn expensive

Its going to be a complete unit. you connect a couple of wires, install drive motor on speedo where the cable went, and push the calibrate button. 40 seconds later, you are ready to go. Once its available, we will go through the proper channels to advertise.

Awesome, can't wait to see a finished product. Will you say here when it's ready with a link? And any idea on actual size? I have limited space in my olds cause of the way the dash is designed

Suscribed! I need one.

I'm interested too, but have limited space behind speedo, so will look forward to seeing the finished article.

Just purchased a 66 Wagoneer with a 6.0L Vortec mated to a 4L65E tranny. Waiting with baited breath on this project, then figure out how to make the factory temp, oil, and voltage gauges work.
Awesome work guys, and like most I only understood 1/4 of what your talking about on the technical side.
Just an idea if money is getting tight for you guys, have you though about kickstarter? I know I'd gladly donate some money to this project.

Sounds better than the Abbot...still a huge box, and still expensive though !

This is a great thread and the speedo conversion method sounds awesome!

I'd like to get in line to purchase one as well!

Any news on this?

Been watching this thread for a while also. I purchased the Dakota Digital unit several months ago from Summit for my ls powered Chevy II wagon. I approached this with great apprehension as it was new on the market place. Well it exceeded my expectations and is working extremely good. I will be driving 6k miles this summer so I will find out if there are any problems. Very happy in the 1st couple hundred miles. And no, I don't work for Dakota or Summit. Just happy for a product to work correctly out of the box 😀

With the popularity of arduino etc...you'd think the motor control to make such a device should be very easy these days.
