AOD speedo cable help???

[Amblewagon]

Hey gang I need some info on aod speedo cable hook ups.Mine is a out of a 1990 Lincoln,it has a plug in for what looks like it would be a pulse sensor or something,do the earlier aod's have a cable style adapter that would except a cable drive to match up to my 57 wagon speedo.If someone has the ford part # or application so I can check dealers for the part I need.
Thanks in advance.

I used an 87 aod,  but it could be as eazy as just pluging in a cable with the simular [sic] end. The gear on the shaft may be ok for cable.

Thanks for the reply but my adapter that goes into the rear of the tranny only has provisons for a pigtail, where the speddo cable is suppose to go is blocked off.I think I may need a earlier style adapter that goes into the trannny,like yours to except a cable style.Do you know what the thread size for the back of a 57 speedo is??

The thread size on the back of the 57 speedo is 5/8-18 thread.
