i still dont get it. the calais uses speedo cable? or is the signal is converted to pulse on the box? if so, could the unit that converts it to pulse be taken off and put on a normal non-calais, for use with some form of after market speedo.

also are these digi dash's only six or are they 8's as well?

digi dash are sixes and eights by memory, the original setup is a speedo cable going to a pulse box, i'm guessing you could use the pulse generator to run an after market spedo, couldn't see why not

Not knowing for sure but i bet the little converter thing the speedo cable goes into gives out an odd signal or pulse rate that would make a normal aftermarket gauge go haywire.

both on 6cyl and 8cyl also the cable goes into a transducer then the wire goes to the dash
