Autometer Speedometer T-56?
I am going to be doing the T-56 conversion soon on my 88 IROC-Z. I am getting the tranny out of a 95 Camaro. Anyways, i was reading somewhere you have to buy some special box, in order to get the speedometer to work? If I buy The Autometer Speedometer Electric version, will i still need to buy this thing? Or is that if you plan on using the stock dash?

to aviod using "the box" you need to get the guts for the electric speedo and change you internals to the electric. keep in mind that this is not as easy as it sounds. anyone who has had a speedo apart will know. if you did not car about the trip working then it is a peice of cake, just a matter of installing the needle guts and getting it calibrated. but the trick is to get the trip to work, which requires a special little motor to move the trip gears. this can be done but everything has to be matched and calibrated.
