Speedometer Converter

Sounds like a good idea.

I was looking for one of these the other day to convert from a 99 4l60e or 4l80e that I have in a 99 Suburban that along with the 350 vortec is going in my 69 soon. I found the converter box at Bowtie Overdrives for $300...a little pricey for a working speedo but not a lot of choices out there.

So if he can come in under the $300 price range he should be able to sell several of them......I have not bought anything yet and would be interested in the group buy.....

That’s one person interested in a group buy. Let me know if there is anyone else interested. I was going to call him again tomorrow to discuss pricing and I was hoping I would have a good size group of people interested so that we have more room to negotiate his price down.

I was thinking of trying to change out my sensor for a gear set up but it would be so much more convenient to have this module so that we would never have to worry about changing tires or gears. With this module you would just have to re-calibrate and that is it, no changing out speedo gears or having the speedo off by 10MPH.

My buddy has a “Cable X” product that does the same thing but he was not impressed with its performance. The needle is jumpy and has some delay. They say it is because the module’s motor is by the trany and has to run through the speedo cable. On this new module it plugs straight into the back of the speedo and the wiring extends down to the trany sensor to eliminate those problems and gives greater accuracy. Also because there is less load on the motor it is suppose to last longer according to my contact. So hopefully we can get a better product for less money than the alternatives on the market.

The price will be better than the other similar products on the market and for what seems like a better product. For sure they will will be less than $300, which is the going rate for the "cable X" product. I just want to wait to get more interested before I talk final price with him so he has more incentive to go down in price.
