Default Help with speed recalibrator?

I just purchased a speed recalibrator on ebay, and the guy said it was new, and it isn't...No big deal except it has no instructions. Its made by ford racing and is for the 2001 and up model mustang...Does anybody know how to use this? Where to plug it in? What to do? Or if some can direct me on where to find the actual instructions that would be greatly appreciated.

Speedo calibrators are relatively simple to install, but at the same time are a total pain in the a$$. I've got instructions lying around here somewhere for mine, if I can find 'em I'll share.

yeah, its on their racing parts site. I don't know what the dallas one is like...I figured they all worked pretty much the same...What is the process you go through with these other speed calibrators? Where do you plug them in?

there is a series of dip switches that you have to set according to what your stock gears were, and what you put in.

This may not help you with that, but this explains how to install it.
