Cable X Speedo Converter

Has anyone used the newer model (3012 vs. 8HC) of the Cable X speedometer converter? I got an email today from an Abbott representative saying that all the problems with jumpy speedo pointers, speed inacuracies, and having to keep the cable perfectly straight, were corrected with the new model.

Also, does anyone know if the speedo fitting on a 70 chevy c-10 is the screw on or snap on variety?

Re: Cable X Speedo Converter

Found my answer to the fitting. It's a screw on for the 70. Still need some advice on the new version of the cable x. Anyone install one of these?

Or does anyone have a how to on changing out the guts of the mechanical speedo to electronic?

Re: Cable X Speedo Converter

I put the guts from a 96 s10 in my stock speedometer. Power and ground was marked on the ciruitboard but no place for the signal. I haven't been successful getting it to work but you can't tell it's in there looks all factory.
