Just to add more junk to the solution. I also put one of these on my wagon.
I have a 57 Ford Ranch Wagon with a C6 and GearVendor. There isn't alot of room in the tunnel. I put the 90* adapter on the transmission then a short cable to the sender for the GearVendor then piggybacked the sender for the VDO speedometer on it. Had I known all I know now when I was originally building this car, I wouldn't have used the short cablem- just the 90* adapter with the two senders piggy backed on it.
As to the earlier link - that was just meant as an example of a possible solution. I might suggest you go look at Autometer or VDO or the gauge manufacture of your choice and see what they offer for sending units for their electronic speedometers. Given my level of skill with electronics I surely would try to use a matched pair of sender and gauge as to avoid any conversion requirements.
