How does the speedometer sensor work? 700 1986

Sensor on the diff produces an AC signal that increases in frequency with speed. Voltage varies from 2 or so up to around 6 at higher speeds. You can observe the signal with an analog meter connected at the speedo while driving the car or with a back wheel jacked up and spinning.
