Re: NP241 speedo output conversion

If your 208 is in good shape, why not just run it? It "should" bolt in place of the 241.
The NP208 I have is 27-spline for use behind a 700R4 / T-350 so it won't bolt up to the T-400 that I want to install along with the NP241. The NP241 is stronger too so that is another reason I want to use it.

The drive gear on the NP208 just slides on over the output shaft. I would bet the reluctor ring on the NP241 is removable too.

I have a press and was a machinist for the air force so a pressed on gear is no big deal.

Hopefully the OD is similar and all I have to do is maybe drill a retainer pin notch to keep the drive gear in place.

My big concern is that the tail housings don't interchange.

Worst thing that happens is I end up having to buy a whole set of Auto Meter gauges for my truck so I can get an electronic speedo to work with the VSS output of the NP241. Honest honey, I had to buy $600 worth of gauges so my speedometer would work
