I'm now working on the custom gauge cluster. I'm using analog gauges and the tachometer is still going to get its signal from the Haltech but I need to identify a source for the speedometer. I can theoretically use any signal for the speedometer as long as it produces between 4000 and 200000 pulses per mile. Some options I'm considering:
1. Keep the mechanical speedo cable and isolate the speed output from the stock cluster and use it as a signal source.
2. Hall effect sensor + trigger/magnetic pickup wheel on the driveshaft (there are some pre-made options out there that look like they'll work).
3. Hall effect sensor + trigger/magnetic pickup wheel on a front wheel hub (a la TII ABS sensor)
4. Use FD VSS (will this even work in a N/A transmission?)
Thoughts?
