My BBC has been 7800rpms with 3.42 gear and 28" tall tires.

Don't know if I will peg my new speedo or not, but I will know for sure next time.

Chris are you going to mount your gauges like Mike or like Tom and Eddie in front of the bezel?

Well, It will look like Mike's, but not mounted the same, thinking global.
I had to send the Speedo and Tach back. The speedo face was cracked, and they sent the wrong tach.

CaptKaos,
If you do try to bury that speedo needle when you get it in please don't point the truck North West when doing it.
We live too close and I don't want you hitting my truck when it goes out of control !!! LOL LOL
