thanks again guys,
I am curious if anyone had any experience with installing the tone ring in an older diff to run an electric sender? it looks like the whole diff would need to be taken apart. I might be in for too much of a headache.

I came across an article about installing a LSD in a 240 diff, it mentioned that what he did was to use a die grinder to make 12 grooves in the face of the true tack lsd, and the speed sender read those just like the tone ring. sounds like it could be a 2 birds one stone sort of thing.

parts:

true track LSD
85+ diff cover and sending unit
85+ speedometer head

modify the true track per the article, drop the car off to the local 4x4 shop with the new diff cover. pick up car, pull instrument cluster, mount new speedometer head, run wires form sender in the rear up to the gauge cluster?

I think the last part is the part that is troubling me the most. what sort of wiring is on the rear of the speedo head? does it just take the two wires and a ground from the sender?
