Most electric speedo are installed in much the same manner as this installation. The speedometer is fitted into a dash or dash cluster with a tach, oil pressure, amps or volts, and temperature gauge. The use of an electric speedo rather than a mechanical one eliminates the thick heavy speedo cable housing that must be run from the dash through the firewall and back along the transmission tunnel to the transmission case. The threading of this cable back to the transmission often causes problems with steering linkage, exhaust headers, shift linkage and wiring harnesses.

The installation of the electric speedometer simplifies the whole speedometer process to three major parts; a speedometer head, a electrical harness, and a electric pulse sender unit. Wiring can generally be coupled with the console or radio speaker wiring and run along the center floor.
