Default Speedometer question

I am running a 1936 rear end and torque tube with speedometer turtle in my 32 roadster. I am thinking of running a Stewart Warner Hall Effect Speed Sender with an electric speedometer. Has anybody else done this

I am assuming it will easily attach to the speedometer drive gear on my torque tube

Maybe not > "Not designed for O.E.M. speedometers."

That should work with your turtle. A stock 40 Ford cable will easily connect to the speedo connection on a turbo 350.

Well I did decide to go electronic. Was considering a GPS sender but went with drive from turtle

20230227_123932.jpg Got a SW electronic speedo. Not pleased that the odometer readings are not centered in window

20230227_123846.jpg Putting approximate miles since overhaul of motor

20230227_122139.jpg What sender looks like all bundled up
