Default PT-40 Speedometer sender - Pulses??

Anyone know how many pulses per mile (or how many pulses per wheel revolution) the sender on the rear hub provides to the speedo. Also is it a Square or sine wave? I think its right at 30K per mile if the drum has 60 notches......

Thanks in Advance......

Hey Rob,

I do not know the number of pulses , but check out this posted picture of the brake drum, maybe you can count the notches.

Thanks Bill -

60 notches on a 12Rx22.5 tire (which is
492 revs per mile) gives 29,520 pulses per mile - so now I know! I'm still interested if its a square wave or sine wave though. Any electrical boffins out there?
Regards

My money is on it being a square wave.

Default Speedo input

The pickup is a Hall effects sensor, basically a magnet.
Square wave is the correct answer. IMHO most any antilock
brake sensor off any auto should be replacement if adapted to fit
bracket set about .020 from notches in drum.
