This list is correct but you forgot that little sensor on the spedo
that is connected to the brain with the blue and white wire and
ground. Need to have a speedo with the slot precut to install this
sensor. So the pre 86? speedos may not be capable of this and the
van may require a speedo unit upgrade.
Additionally you will need the wiring and vaccum tubing to set this
up.
