Yes, the speedometers are separate units for the most part.  You'll 
see when you
take it apart.  It has to connect to the foil, but only essentially 
for the oil buzzer
pressure sensor 'computer'.  As long as you have the correct color 
gear on the end of your
speedo drive (going into the transmission), you'll be fine.
