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.

You probably have it figured out by now but hope it helps
