Speedometer hook up 2004 in an '89??

[60 Biscayne]

We're not done yet! I still need help!
I have an article that was done a few years back on another Jeep website relative to doing a 4.0 OBD II swap into a YJ etc...... in it they call out using a VSS (Vehicle Speed Sensor) & adapter from a 91 Wrangler and they even list P/N's and the old speedometer head works with the new trans etc..........
I don't have a '91 Wrangler donor car laying around so I called over to the NAPA Store & yep they have a listing. The only problem its like $90 & I figure somebody has come up against this situation and has figured out a cheaper way!
I'll count the poles as I speed past them before I lay out $90 to square away a speedometer cable problem!

The electronic speed sensor from a '96+ will bolt right in to your transfer case in place of the mechanical sender. I may have one laying around. Does this help or am I misunderstanding what you need?

	Transfer Case Mounted behind and driven by the vehicle transmission, the transfer case transmits power to the front and rear driveshafts in 4WD Jeep vehicles and offers high and low range.

I don't have the article in front of me right now, it's over at the garage. Anyway, I have a 2004 Engine, trans & transfer case that we're putting in a 89 Wrangler.
The speedometer drive on the new setup is electronic, like you said 96 & up etc. I have this........ The speedometer head in the 89 is driven by a cable thus they are not in sync with each other.
According to the article, he used a Part # (which I have at the garage) & Part # (the other one which I also have at the garage) out of a 1991 Wrangler, I believe he called them a VSS (Vehicle Speed Sensor & an Adapter.
I called over to NAPA and they said they have a listing & could get it but it ran about $90 - I figure there's gotta be a cheaper way? Maybe?
What do other guys do???? Thanks, Jim

So you're wanting to retain your cable driven speedo AND send an electronic speed sensor signal to the engine computer?

A '91 may have the parts you need, that's around the time they switched from cable speedos to electronic, but I know of no other way than to get the adapters.

Another option would be to get an electronic speedo from a '91-'95 YJ and do away with the cable completely.

Wait, there are other Jeep websites? I must investigate this!
