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

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.
