Electric speedo for a T5?

Well I put a T5 in my car but it is the newer style with the electric speedo. Is there any companies that make a speedo that will work with the stock speed sensor? Or is there a replacment sensor I can get to work with any?

Just want something to use till I can come up with a mechanical speedo tranny.

Thanks

 

I use Autometer.

 

Most electronic speedos work with stock sensers.

 

FWIW VDO makes a speedo that that comes with a sensor that uses the driveshaft bolts for a signal and it can be user calibrated, have one in my car and it works fine...

 

I am using an Autometer with mine, no problems.

 

Excellent, thanks for the info!

Now I'm off to find a gauge!

 

If your into building small electronic projects.
I got the guts of an electronic speedo at the pullapart and have built the Jaycar speedo corrector kit from jaycar (see link for artical) My father inlaw is going to metal spin the case for me and I intend to make a new old style face for the speedo. Under $40 and I can say I made it myself

I just got an Electronic SW off the HAMB classifides

 

I got the same situation. Using a T5 in my roadster that has the elec. sender. I just bought a set of Wings guages with the elec. speedo. Haven't hooked it up yet so dont know what exactly it will take. But, well see.....................

 

Does the sensor unbolt from the trans?
I put a 85 Mustang T5 in my 63 Falcon and just removed the sensor and the stock Falcon speedo cable fit right in and works with no problem.

 

Check with Snarl here on the HAMB - he's pretty smart on these electronic speedo T5s (and T5s in general!)

 

I made one from a electronic speedometer from the pull-a-part with a home made fake Stewart Warner Police special gauge and I have just remembered that the torque tube I am retaining has a mechanical drive on it.

 

Most aftermarket speedometers will be able to accomodate your setup. The s-10 uses a magnetic pickup, just make sure you wire it acordingly. Most of the aftermarket units have different witing for magnetic/optical vs. hall effect.
On ours, you actually have to go into the menu to tell the speedometer which type of pickup you are using. Now, the noly problem is finding one that looks right.
Hope this helps.
