Thread: T56 speedometer

Tweet

I am putting a Stewart warner wings speedometer (Electric) in and would like to know if I can hook right into the existing speedo sensor. I tried to get an answer for S/W tech but that was as useless as tits on a bull.
Thanks

I don't know much about them but I know my son used his laptop to dial in the speedometer to match his new tires. (T56 in a '95 Camaro). So, I assume it's tied into the cars computer. (not directly connected to the trans.). What car are you installing it in?

The T56 (stock sendor) has a 17 pulse per driveshaft revolution VSS signal generator incorporated into it. This has to get converted to a 2000 or 4000 pulse per mile signal for your VSS input to the Speedo (likely). There is a conversion box from Dakota Digital that does signal recalibration that converts it to match your speedo. It will also let you know via the LED's if you are getting a signal from the T56. Hope this helps...

The SW speedo is dip switch configurable for counting pulses but it is limited. Instructions have the setting set-up. The above mentioned box will allow you to zero it in if your set-up is outside the speedo's capability ..............
