speedo cable question......

I own a 90' toyota p'up 2wd cab with a 20r motor on a 79' 4x4 chasis with a 5spd 93' tranny....whew....lol...anyways my gauge cluster in the truck is a mechanical cable type and my tranny is electrical.....so how do i plug the speedocable into my tranny without swapping the tranny?

you have no ecu?
maybe the easiest route then would be after market, just ditch the gauge cluster?

so it is a 90 cab with a 90 interior/gauge cluster?
if you have a the ele spreedo setup on the transfer case then just wire the 3 wires up to the back of the 90gauge cluster.
if you have a manual input on the back of your cluster you will need a manual input on the transfercase hole.
they are the same hole on the digital speedo plug and the manual just different adapters on the tcase. if it were me i would go digital on both of them.
