I believe my speedo pulse generator has failed on my 1984 csi.
The current item is part # 62161369906 with 2 spade terminals arranged in a "T"
There is a later model pulse generator part # 62168355008 , which appears identical except the terminals are round pins.
Can anyone tell me if they are interchangeable ? Changing to female round pins on the wiring wont be an issue. TIA Bob

Re: speedometer pulse generator
Different part number may not provide the same signal as the original unit. Good luck

Re: speedometer pulse generator
Per the ETM for my '84 it says:
"SPEEDOMETER SENDER
Rotating disc magnetically opens and closes switch"
That sounds to me like a magnetic reed switch as opposed to a hall sensor. If the ETM for your car reads the same I'd think it might just work. That said, I couldn't say for sure. If the part is cheap enough it might be worth a try.
