Digital Dash

I have a 56 F 100 ford pick up with a digital electronic dash. I cannot find any manufacturer names on it. The speedometer sensor on the transmission has 2 wires both are unhooked. Need help with wiring. Thanks

It's probably Dakota Digital.

Mine has 2 wires coming from it, you take one of the wires, doesnt matter which one, ground it and connect the other to the speed sensor input on the dash box.
