69 Chevelle with T-56

[Klasicjon]

I have a 69 Chevelle SS that I have put a 454 with a T-56 six speed tranny. I understand that the T-56 can only use an electronic speedometer. I still have the stock gauges. Does any one have a recommendation for what speedometer I can use that will also fit in the stock dash panel?

I think I saw a write up about that in CHP Magazine a while back, if I can find it I'll post the answer..

This is from the CHP article I read:The D&D T56 comes with a seven-tooth gear on the output shaft, and the custom extension housing will accept the standard four-speed-style speedometer gear adapter, which bolts right into the case.
Here's The "whole thang", Hope it helps:

Thanks PaPa Mike. Do you have any idea where I can get the " standard four-speed-style speedometer gear adapter" that bolts on the custome extension housing?
