<Am i missing something, or can you just mount it to
the pulley and control the rpm... not just the mph?

Or does it spin too fast to get a good reading
(doesn't seem like that would be the case...)?

Yep ...  it appears you missed the nature of the question.

The kit is "For Automatics".  It comes with the magnets and sensor for
installation on the CV joints.  No problem there.  I could go ahead and
install it in my 4 speed like it was an automatic .... BUT .... there
would be no way to protect against an over rev situation (pushing in
clutch or knocking out of gear).  With the automatic kit, there is no
provision for connecting to the coil for an over rev signal, nor is
there a clutch switch included.

They apparently offered a separate kit for installation with a manual
trans that did not include the magnets.  It hooked up only to the coil
and got it's speed signal and provided over rev protection from that
connection.  Again, no clutch switch.

My question was .... seeing on the illustration that the magnetic sensor
wires (for auto) or the coil hookup wires (for manual) went to the exact
same connection that was shown on the electronics module, could I just
cut off the magnetic sensor and hookup to the coil instead (as per the
illustration).  Well, the answer is NO.  The company provided DIFFERENT
electronics modules for each kit.
