Just got a 150MPH speedo and am replacing a 120MPH one. I have a 71 and I think this is from a 74. Are these easily transferable?

Ouch $125, yup you really have to get away from EvillBay. You could of gotten it much cheaper here (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dead horse.gif)

It's a easy swap, everything plugs in the same place, the hardest part will probably removing your trip odometer cable, you'll need a small flat scewdriveer for that one.

"Upgrade" In what way is this considered an "upgrade"? You're simply replacing the speedo with a different one. No better, and no worse, it's just different. The Cap'n

Ya my speedo says like 150 like Spinal Tap's amps say 11. "Ours are better because ours go to 11."LOL Not to spill the beans but, if I get and engine that red lines past the lets say 7K line easily, then it might bring my speed up past the old 112MPH which is like 8MPH away from the 120 mark.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer.gif) It has a visual speed upgrade of 30 MPH and may possibly well have an up grade of at least 100 HPs for shure after installation!
