VSS for Festiva

Been wanting an MPGuino for my festiva for a long time now. Only problem is these cars never came equipped with a VSS. Or so I thought. I think maybe they were used with dealer installed cruise control. Ive found a couple different parts that look like they could work.

Store Locator | NAPA Online

That has kind of a ridiculous price... so I checked rockauto... they have the "standard motor products" part number sc85 at $69.99 with a wholesaler closeout at $38.79... a little more livable. Heres what it looks like... More Information for STANDARD MOTOR PRODUCTS SC85

Looks like it just goes inline with the speedo cable.

Anyway, I figured I would post this up for anyone with a festiva that might want to use an MPGuino. If I can get some spare cash around I definitely wanna try this out.
