If the car’s existing cable-driven speedometer works well, Speedhut makes a very nice electric motor that uses either the transmission VSS signal or a GPS antenna to spin the motor, which drives the speedometer cable. We’ve installed one of these boxes in our ’64 El Camino with a 4L60E, and it has performed well for over a year. Again, this is an added expense that should be considered before deciding on a 4L60E.

Did you even read the article? —- GM hired Orbital ATK, a Virginia rocket science firm that determined the cause of Takata’s airbag explosions, to test its truck inflators. As of December, Orbital ATK had checked 648 GM inflators by simulating heat and humidity cycles, finding that they would perform as designed for 30 years, according to GM. The automaker said that in 4,907 more inflators tested in labs and in 63,000 airbag deployments on real roads, none of the truck and SUV inflators malfunctioned.
