Re: 85 to 120 mph speedo conversion



I put just the speedo into mine. Something didn't quite match up between the pins on the new speedo vs. the connector on the old printed circuit but it was easy to overcome. To do the whole instrument cluster I imagine you'd have to  cut & splice the new-style connectors onto the old wiring harness and I didn't want to get that deep into it.
