TKO 600 Speedometer issue
I got my TKO 600 installed with the digital Speedometer plug and the manual speedo blockoff. I ran the positive wire to my "SIG" tab on the back of my Autometer Phantom Digital Speedometer, and grounded the other wire. It is reading about 100 MPH at 25 actual MPH.. Anyone have any experience with this type of setup? I have done quite a few searches on here and google, with no results..
Thanks!

There should be 3 connectors on the back of the gauge. A + lead a - lead and a signal. The signal one should be coming from the transmission. The positive lead should be 12 volts and the - should be a ground. On my T56 there are 2 leads from the transmission. A signal lead and a ground. I ran the signal lead to the gauge and the other to the ground.

I have the ground wire from the transmission grounded to the body. Does it need to be connected to the ground tab on the speedometer?
The Speedometer has seperate power and ground to it..

The body is not a good ground. I grounded mine to the transmission crossmember. My gauge ground is to the harness ground in the dash wiring.
Is there a calibration mode for your speedo. I run an Autometer electronic speedo and it was running way high until I went through the calibration process.

I am sure my body ground is good, but I will relocate to frame.
I will also look for information on how to calibrate it. I was not aware that was possible. It is a Phantom 5" AutoMeter Digital Speedometer. Thank you for the help.
