Default speed-o help

I am doing a ls1 swap into a 69 camaro and was wondering what options I have for hooking up a speedomiter to the t-56. And also how I can get it calibrated for different tires and gears?

You could do what I did, I had my original (1935 Ford) speedo changed to an electronic (VDO) movement and let my PCM handle it from there. Redline Gaugeworks (http://www.redlinegaugeworks.com/) did it and it works perfectly. They do this type of stuff all the time, they do all of Jay Leno's stuff so they are very busy but I thought it was worth the time invested.

We sell a converter box from Abbott that takes the VSS signal, and in turn drives a motor hooked up to your speedo cable. You can calibrate it for different rear end ratios, and tire sizes,
