AOD /Dolphin speedometer combo?

Does anyone have this combination? An AOD trans with a dolphin electronic speedometer? If you do could you tell me how the sender is attached to the trans and pictures would be great. Thanks

learpilot,

I put a `91 lincoln aod transmission in my `56. I used the original sending unit that
was in the aod. I have a "Classic Instruments" electronic speedometer. When I hooked
them up and got the `56 running, the speedometer registered perfect. Did not have to make any adjustment. Your going to really like the aod. Hope this helps.

Thanks Gusso, what motor are you using and what size rear tires? I am concerned about the combination of tall tires and OD. Thanks again

I`m running a `57 T Bird 312 Y-Block. A .305-1 9 inch rear end. 15 inch tires.
And turning about 1875 rpm at 70 mph on freeway. I`m way past burning tires in my old age and really enjoy cruising at this stage of my life. I very happy. Sorry I don`t have any
pic`s of the electronic sender but I don't really think you need one. It`s pretty
straight forward. Good luck with your build.

Gary
