E40D aftermarket speedometer
I got a 1952 Dodge ambulance sitting on a 1993 Ford F-250 7.3idi automatic. I'm trying to hook up an aftermarket speedometer. My questions is what wire do I use to get the pulse signal into the new speedometer. Do I have to keep the old speedometer for the transmission to shift properly? I could hide it under the dash if that is the case. I found the VSS on top of the rear differential but I'm not sure if that is where I find the signal. Any help would be appreciated.

This is the aftermarket speedometer I'm trying to hook up.

We hid the old speedo in the dash. The trans controller needs a square wave 8000 pulse per mile signal and the stock speedo does a fabulous job of creating that from the diff mounted speed sensor's AC signal.
We tapped into that same 8k ppm signal output (grey w/black) to drive our Autometer electronic speedo. Then we went through the Autometer calibration routine and it has worked great ever since.
