MPH and KPH Speedos
i would like to convert my speedo to KPH as thats what we use here
im thinking of if i just swap the gauge it self with a KPH would this work what about the Cruise Control stuff? do i need to get a Buffer for a KPH one (Green Model)? what about the modual it self do i need to change that?

Re: MPH and KPH Speedos
What about one of the dual range ones? Would that work for you?
I believe all the speedos that are 85 mph are also marked for KPH. I think the year range is 1980-89 for mechanical speedos.

Re: MPH and KPH Speedos
I found this one in a 88-91 burb.(didnt check the year really) It has the trip meter in the speedo which I like. I think it should be a simple direct swap. Nothing else should be a problem

Re: MPH and KPH Speedos
It is pre-1990 as the speedometer is mechanical. 90 & 91 are electronic and are sought after by people doing LSx swaps.

Re: MPH and KPH Speedos
I made an overlay for mine that got rid of the kph markings and changed the range from 85 mph to 90 mph. You could do the same with kph instead.

Re: MPH and KPH Speedos
yes, i need one in kmh, that is electronic as im doing an LSx..... do the speedos from 90-91 fit the 80`s dash bezel without much modification?

It is the bezels & dash pads that need to be matched together for proper fit. I forget the year break but the squared dash pad has a different contour around the bezel than the older rounded dash pad so there is a gap to deal with if you mix & match.
