Re: 67-72 Electric speedo
this speedo you made does it do a full sweep? or does it stop at 100 like they do in a s10?

Re: 67-72 Electric speedo
so we then assume with the needle bump stop moved down that the speedo will then go up to 120?

Re: 67-72 Electric speedo
Nice job. Another thing to add to the ever growing list of projects. Thanks for taking time to share this great mod.

Re: 67-72 Electric speedo
I'd be interested in buying one of these as well.
You could easily have a business on your hands with not just these, but other classic vehicles that are popular with LSX swaps. |
Re: 67-72 Electric speedo
I think you need to remove that stop and go out and do a real world test to see if the needle can actually go to 120. : ).

Re: 67-72 Electric speedo
I really like this modification. Any more specifics on how to wire it? How expensive is it to do this? Guesstimate? Do you own the graphics you had done? Thanks for sharing

As for cost, I have about $200 in the first one I did, that's for the speedometer, doesn't include the whole cluster and the tach. I spent most of the money on having the graphics part done and getting it printed. I do own the graphics I had made, but I can't do anything with them, so the guy at the print shop has them on his computer and can print them whenever I need them. The speedometer parts came from a pick a part as did the sockets for all the lights and the plug to be able to unplug it to remove it. The main reason I went ahead and spent the money to try it is I knew I would be doing more for future projects and when you spilt the costs up, it's not that bad. The other reasons are that Cable-X's are getting more expensive and don't work as well as they used to, and I cant stand the look of aftermarket gauges in an otherwise stock looking truck. I probably have around $50 in the dash I put together for my beater truck and that's including the clock and voltmeter mods too. Here's some pics of the one I just got done putting together for the beater. |

Re: 67-72 Electric speedo
LS1nova,
would it be possible to have say 10 speedos cut, then resell them to make up some of you investment? I would buy one of the speedo overlays, and I am sure others would. |

Re: 67-72 Electric speedo
I would definetlty take the overlays,2 sets of them. I already have 2 clusters from s10 projects I have that I swapped them out to get a tach cluster lol. Is there 2 overlays, one for the design on the gauge, and one for the lense? I am unclear on that.
