Electronic speedo?!!

In stock form the speedo itself generates the electronic speed signal.
You could probably get one of those Marlin Crawler things that mount right on the speedo cable output on the transmission to generate the necessary signal.

Autometer Electronic Speedo
I got my sending unit from these guys:
Its a unit that screws into the tranny where the stock lower cable goes. It generates an electronic signal right there. With no throughput - the oem cable's gone ... so no speed signal to the TEMS or Cruise or Variable Power Steering.
The OEM "reed-type(?)" VSS that generates an electronic signal behind the gauge cluster, is apparently a completely different signal than that generated by the more common "hall effect" senders used by most of your electronic speedo's ... so the two signals are completely non-interchangeable.

In other words, you switch them out, you loose TEMS (if you had it) cruise control, and PPS (if you had that too)?
As far as I know the MC ones are noisy electrically and can interfere with electronics in the car.
I had a friend build me an electronic speedo corrector box from a local kit that will input/output just about any signal you might need, I used it to feed a Hall signal into an AVCR that was expecting the 4 pulse signal from the stock Reed pieceOcrap.
It worked perfectly.
