Hi Carel, I think this will a little tricky. I know of no obvious way to perform this conversion other that having to replace the mechanical speedometer with an electronic type. Theoretically if you have a gearbox which drives a non hall efect type speedometer sensor (This means that a mechanical dr...

O.K, I've taken off the right side caliper and have found that the pistons can be forced in and out by hand. It requires fairly significant thumb pressure, but it is not what I would consider, perhaps incorrectly, seized. What I find curious is that when I push one piston in, the other piston comes ...

Shures, thanks for the quick reply. Yup, looks like I will do a complete dissassembly and rebuild on the calipers. The rest of the hoses look new, but naturally I'll check them as well. I think the poor cold performance is exactly as you described. I found out the the pads are high performance once,...

Braking Problems
I have an odd problem with my brakes. Recently, the left front brake, periodically, would start dragging. Stop the car, let sit for 20-30 minutes and then everything is fine?? Take off the left front wheel and spin the rotor. No binding, spins absolutely freely. Pads are good and rotor is in fantast...

coach123 There are obviously 5 things that can be wrong with your speedometer system 1. The speedometer itself 2. the wiring from the amplifier to the speedometer 3. The wiring from the speedometer sensor to the amplifier 4. The amplifier 5. The speedometer sensor 1. You said you had the speedometer...

All, here are my instruction interfacing my two wire sensor. Interfacing Alfa Romeo Three Wire Speedometer to 2 Wire Pulse Generator 1. Turn the ignition key to OFF 2. Construct a short jumper (~5 cm) using a standard male bullet connector and female spade terminal. Connect (-) terminal from pulse g...

Thanks Barry. All, I've just installed the SGI-5 and it works beautifully. Now my speedometer works perfectly. My configuration consists of a three wire speedometer unit interfaced to a two wire speedometer sensor. The hook up is fairly straight forward and simple. but is best explained with some di...

Hippo58, I have a 75 twin spark box with the two wire speedometer sensor. The dakota device SHOULD solve all speedometer calibration issues. It simply takes a pulse train input, and depending on the switch settings on the unit will either produce more pulses per second or less. There are some issues...

just to conclude this topic so that it may help others I determined that my speedometer sensor was fine. The sensor is configured as an open collector which means that a load resistor ( 1-2K was used here) must be placed in series with the 12V supply. The speedometer pulse signal can then be measure...
