I agree. If you get upside down in a bucket, I think you'd do better without the belts. I'm going to go with the probability that "most" wrecks do not involve getting upside down. I consider the safety of a T-Bucket to be somewhere between a "normal" car and a motorcycle.
Do any of you have any experience using an electronic signal speedometer with a Turbo 350 transmission? I'm debating whether I should go that route, or run a speedo cable.
Not with a TH350, but I've got 2 of them in a couple of my cars. One connected to my a 46Rh and the other to a T5. A lot easier to run a single wire to the tranny than thread a cable. It can also be used as a VSS source to run the cruise control. They also give you multiple trip odometers.
Always a lot nicer to calibrate the speedometer sitting in the seat and pushing a button than crawling under the car to change the driven gear in the tranny (of in a worse case situation pulling the tail housing off to change the drive gear).
Little more pricey than a cable driven unit, but IMO worth it.

+1 on the electronic speedo's. I put my first one in my 46 coupe over 20 years ago (it's still in it). I'm running a TH350 in that car with a speed sensor that screws in place of the cable. Much easier to fool with. I calibrated mine using a GPS, but there are speedo apps available now for your cell phone.
I was even lazier .. I used a GPS deal hooked to my speedo. Picked it up from Speedway.
Yeah, the Healey is getting a GPS speedo from Speedhut. Just a short wire run under the dash to the antenna. No calibration needed.
I need to find something to put in my T10 to run my auto meter speedo. I haven't even researched that part yet. :LOL:
How about a GPS speedo…...

That's probably the nicest option. It just depends if I'm willing to get off my wallet. :LOL: There are plenty of great options out there, all it takes is money. The most important thing to me is to get one with a trip meter. I don't plan on having a gas gauge, I'll use the trip meter for that.
I couldn't either. Everyone had good things to say about them. Hard to find anything on the internet that nobody talks bad about.
I almost bought an auto meter GPS speedo to match the gauges in the camaro. I just can't justify the price on it when I have a gps that can go in whatever vehicle I'm going to drive. The speedo may wait if it's going to cost a lot. Haha
A matching speedo.
There's a joke in there but I'm leaving it be.
I think we are all glad you left that one alone. :eek::o
