Subject: Okay READ the subject bar...Hall Effect SPEEDO question.

Hey everyone,
I need to know how to get a signal for an electronic SPEEDOMETER from a
Hall Effect sender. I don't see how the signal from a distributor could be
used for anything except a tach.
Does that little box at the junction of the two part speedomter cable
contain a Hall Effect sender?????????????? If so, how do I get a signal
from it for the speedo? Which terminals do I use?
thanks in advance
Mark
