    I have a 94 that was produced with a V-6 and a manual 5 speed. I installed a carbureted 5.0 with an AOD. Can anyone tell me how to connect the speedometer to the sensor on the trans. I also have installed a 5.0 instrument cluster. Tach info would help also, I would appreciate any suggestions or info.

    The speedo has a mechanical drive gear that is converted to an electric signal. See if you can get the harness for it.

    You could probably reconfigure the V6 harness if you want.

    Have you been to Sorscode.com?

    I have the harness for it, I just don't know where to plug the harness to. I have no speedometer or oil pressure on the stock cluster. I have fuel level and amp, other than that, nothing. I really need some pics of what needs to be modified or done to make my speedo work.

    Do AOD transmissions have the right output to the speedometer? 94+ got AODE transmissions....dont fox's run AOD trannies, thus having an all mechanical setup to the speedometer?

    The speed sensor still works the same on AOD's and AODE's. The sensor itself would plug into the tail shaft section. There's got to be something pluggin that whole right now or it'd make a huge mess.

    Just make sure the gear you use is for an AODE, the teeth are different from autos and 5 speeds. As for the wiring, beats the crap out of me. This is exactly why I will never put a carb on a EFI car. Too many wiring headaches.

    Good luck.
