Mechanical speedo on T56 Does anyone make a tailshaft mod for the T56 that would add a mechanical output to drive the speedo. Of course you still need the electronic output for the PCM. I would prefer to do this rather than the converter box.
Thanks

BTW, while we're talking about converters, I ran across this one while researching the topic:

It seems to be a lot cheaper than the cable-x and you don't have to use dip-switches to calibrate it.
Does anyone have info/experience/advice on that converter?

The operation of the speedometer is suboptimal w/ the converter boxes that I have seen installed. They don't seem to react as fast and are somewhat nonlinear.
I'm still not clear if Jags that Run or Street Rods make the dual setup T56 tailshaft.

My Abbot convertor does work.....but its far from perfect.
Slow to register from standstill, and the speed stops working above around 110-110mph.
But at the time, it was the easiest option for me.
