Nightpath Posted May 13, 2016 Report Share Posted May 13, 2016 I'm trying to modify my XJ drivetrain to work with a mechanical speedometer in my old Eagle. Wondering if anyone has ever done this here, and could give a tip or 2. My setup is as follows : Full XJ drivetrain and wiring from a 1994 XJ (OBD1). Eagle gauge cluster I'm looking at snagging a ECHLIN VSS110 (Airtex/Wells 5S4691) possibly, but I noticed it has only 2 wires instead of 3 which I believe my current VSS has. I'm thinking 1 of the wires goes to the PCM and another is for the speedometer. Am I correct to assume this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Powerram Posted May 13, 2016 Report Share Posted May 13, 2016 Take the electric sender out to the xj t-case, install your mechanical speedometer cable that is original to the eagle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Powerram Posted May 13, 2016 Report Share Posted May 13, 2016 I guess I should ask if you are keeping the 4 liter fuel injection with a electronic transnission? Ah , OK my bad, I re read your post , you are keeping the 4.0 fuel injected with an electric trans. I'm not sure then. My expirence was a 1995 4.0/swap but we kept installed the carb and intake from the 4.2 onto the 4.0. I rebuilt the carb and that baby purred like a little kitten. -42degC cold starts without Hassel. That little sx4 worked great but now it is getting solid axle swap and 5.2 from a grand Cherokee, 5 speed nv3500 from a Dakota and a np231 case from an xj Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nightpath Posted May 13, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 13, 2016 I saw that a few days ago. It's a pretty nice piece of kit, but quite expensive. For that price I could get an Intellitronix Create a Dash, which is the route I may end up going..even though I'd love to stay stock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I first moved to Alberta I saw this in a back alley. I told my buddie about it $300 later we brought it home. He like the not common rigs. I bought this sami while I was out there for $200 and he also ended up with it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nightpath Posted May 13, 2016 Author Report Share Posted May 13, 2016 Is the SX4 here or still out west? I always liked them, but the back seat makes a TJ look like a limo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
