Re: mechanical to electronic speedo adapter? You are in luck. Abbot enterprises makes exactly what you are looking for. They call it a Cable X box. I have heard it works pretty good, but is pricey. Let me see if I can find the website somewhere.

Re: mechanical to electronic speedo adapter? Yes, I think it's around $300. John B has it on his Monte I believe.

mechanical to electronic speedo adapter? Chances are this doesn't exist, but I thought I'd see if anyone had seen/used one...
I'd like to continue using my mechanical speedometer, because I don't want to rebuild my dash. However, I'd like to get the speed input into the PCM so that I could use the cruise control from the PCM. The car has a vacuum operated cruise control on it which I could use, but I thought it would be cleaner to use the electronic one from the computer - less controllers, hoses, etc in the engine compartment.
Anyway to do this, I need an electronic pulse generator that I can run my speedo cable through. Basically, mechanical in and out, with a electrical output as well.
Anybody seen anything like this?
Thanks!

Re: mechanical to electronic speedo adapter? Hmmm...
That looks like it will drive my speedo if I have an electronic signal. Unfortunately, I need a something to generate the electronic signal. (damn antique cars!)
Maybe I can put a reluctor wheel on the driveshaft and mount a sensor for it. Does anyone know the tooth count on the reluctor wheels that are in the T56 or 460E?

Re: mechanical to electronic speedo adapter? Kinda confused what you need, but this might help.
if you need a mechanical signal from a T56 try this site, www.jagsthatrun.com
