 I think you need an aftermarket speedo cable/adapter.  Ask Auto Meter, they should know.  It substitutes your stock speedo cable and hooks up to the gauge and transmits a signal.  Don't forget to tell them what gear ratio and tire size your using.

You'll need a pulse generator that screws onto the transmission.

No need to worry about which speedo pinion you have, the speedo has to be calibrated after installation.
Pardon me but my karma just ran over your dogma.

Autometer sells the adapter. I am using the setup on my car. Simple 3 wire install. Ign hot, ground, signal to speedo. Boom, done. Calibration is also a breeze. Put it in cal mode, then drive a 2 mile trip, stop the trip, boom- done. Love mine.
