Dave,

Mr. Silver is discussing your electronic speedometer interface issue with Ben and will be in touch shortly.

We're also confirming information from another customer that has an '85 model to see if there were any possible anomalies regarding your particular Corvette.

Jeff

I bought an INDY shifter, cut the shifter off above the bottom hole and then drilled a new hole and it was perfect fit.

I tapped into the wire coming from the VSS on the tranny and put the Dakota Digital between the cut wires.
Blue from tranny, brown to dash

Yeah, I did all the mods i wanted to do then lost interest in it, I should have kept it, but did not have the space I needed.
