When you really think about it, 3000 miles should easily suffice. You will not be driving the car when there is any chance of bad weather. You live in NJ and you may be talking about a driving season of 6 to 7 months tops.
One advantage of an electric speedo is that you can install a switch to turn the speedo and odometer off when you don't need it.

My trans outputs pulses for an electic speedo, then I send that to a box (Cable-X) (http://www.atrol.com/cablex.htm) that has microprocceser that controls a DC motor that turns the speedo cable to the mechanical speedo. The box is programmable with DIP siwthces to make the speedo and odometer accurate. I added a switch to turn it off when I don't want the speedo to work...
