Does anybody use this CABLE X box that transforms the T56 digital Tach-puls into a mechanical Tach output ?
How does this work ?
Must be kind of a motor that is speed regulated by the T56 electopuls output ?
My friend bought a 2001 Camaro T56 and likes to put it into his 72 Vette that has a mechanical tach.

I have a Cable-X that I use for the same purpose. It has a microcontroller inside and a little stepper motor that drives the speedometer cable. There are DIP switches for setting the conversion settings and instructions. I set mine to the approximate setting and then changed the DIP switch settings to fine-tune the speedo reading compared to a GPS unit. I was able to get the speedo reading to within 1 MPH of the GPS. My speedo needle jumps around a little sometimes but I think that is the speedometer itself not the Cable-X.
