I'M Researching using autometer style gauges. I'm not sure of many brands that do a speedo besides dedicated race dash style systems (stack, Pi)

Well, I'm trying to have the gauges look as OEM like as they can be.
I was wondering if I can get some sort of analog-to-digital converter for the speedo.

OK, I've found a variety of speedos and tachos I can use at autometer.com
I'm talking about the signal, the tacho, the oil temp and the gas is not a problem for me when connecting the gauges.
But the speedometer uses an analog signal from the diff and I'm not sure how I will be able to connect it to an aftermarket gauge.
