Default Hall Effect sensor for F-body T56 tail housing?
Anybody know of a Hall Effect speed sensor I can drop in my F-body T56 without converting to a Viper tail housing?

Would probably be as handy just to get a VR-hall convertor.

or most of the signal/pulse adjuster type devices usually offer the same feature

It's the hall effect technology that I'm after. It picks up speed signal at very low speeds.

I'm sure it wouldnt be too hard to adapt something...it is just a round hole after all. No idea if anything is the exact same dimensions though.

Here's another solution from Tick. They made a direct bolt in Hall Sensor.

I'm waiting for them to come out with one for the Ford Style VSS for my T56 Magnum.

You could have done the same thing with a speed sensor connected to the pinion yoke. It would work just the same since the output shaft speed sensor is 1 to 1 ratio with the pinion yoke.
