Speedometer from cable to electronic
I have a 52 Mercury F3 and I want to put new gauges in it but all are electronic. How do I go from cable to electronic or maybe GPS. I'm looking at the New Vintage gauges that have the same look as the originals.
Thanks in Advance

If you go electronic you don't use the cable. Use a pulse generator in the trans or with the GPS signal you would just put a plug in the cable hole of the trans.

Thanks, I found out that New Vintage makes a GPS pickup for the gauges I wanted.
Thanks for the help
