That's the long and short of it, yes. You will also need a certain amount of patience! This is do-able, but isn't just a couple hour job. It takes some fiddeling with it to get everything just right.

Re: 67-72 Electric speedo
 

I am interested in trying this!

Re: 67-72 Electric speedo
 

Ok, anybody who wants one, send me a PM and I'll respond with payment options. I'm going to go to the printer tomorrow and put in my order so he can get to work on them, but like I said, it will probably be a week or so before I get them.

Also, I wanted to comment on the being "besieged by posts for help" comment. I will help everyone with any problems you may encounter when doing this, but all the questions will have to be posted in this thread. That way if somebody else has the same question, it's in the thread and anyone can see it.

THey are actually out of a '65 chevy. They are sockets that ground to the tin, just like the heater control light in a '67-'72.

Re: 67-72 Electric speedo
 

I may get with you in the future on the decals ls1nova. I am gonna research it a bit more and may attempt it! It will save some $$$ so why not?

Re: 67-72 Electric speedo
 

How do you go about getting the original numbers off the gauge face before you painted the new ones on? Sanded or what? Thanks.

Re: 67-72 Electric speedo
 

No sanding necessary, just polish them off with a soft rag (I use an old t shirt) and some Mothers aluminum wheel polish. Takes a little rubbing but its not hard to do at all.

Re: 67-72 Electric speedo
 

What did you have to have done as far as a tune to get it to read properly?

Re: 67-72 Electric speedo
 

Couple of questions:
1.) what kind/brand of paint is it you are using to airbrush the stencil?
2.) Is that a factory or aftermarket tach you are using? Did you have to modify it to work on an LS motor?
3.) any chance you have a wiring diagram of what you made?
Thanks for sharing this modification.

Re: 67-72 Electric speedo
 

Yes, there are more available.

PM returned

Just the basic tune stuff you would do to get any speedometer to read correct. You set your rear gear ratio, and tire size. Any tuner should be able to do this.

1) I used some old Testors model car paint I've had for years, it's a mixture of green and white
2) It's an aftermarket tach, you just need to set the tach resolution from 6 to 3 in the tune. This doubles the signal sent to the tach since LS motors puit out a 4 cylinder tach signal.
3) I can make a diagram, but basically I just wired it like the printed circuit, with a few changes, like the voltmeter rather than the ammeter.

Re: 67-72 Electric speedo
 

So what did you do for the gage face? Or is it an aftermarket repop of an original?

Re: 67-72 Electric speedo
 

Yes, it's just a repop of an original, nothing fancy needed to make the tach work.
