mainly later models with EFI engines I think, just before they changed to MT75 boxes

both my F reg Granada's have it (2.0 EFI Pinto's)

I think you may find that the electrical terminal was in fact the reverse light switch.

To my knowledge, Ford never fitted an electric speedo to the Sierra type 9 gearbox.

We got a type 9 out of a Granada with an electronic speedometer sender fitted, no cable provision on it though.

2.3 Granada has the inductive pickup on a type 9 with the correct bellhousing/input shaft and the bigger grandads also have the pickup but are not a bolt in fit. No reason you can't swop the pickup onto your current type nine box if you have access to the top of the extension through the side of the tunnel. If you consider the mechanical drive to be at 5 o'clock on the extension, the inductive pickup bolts on opposite it at 11 o'clock
