What's a good replacement electric speedometer?
I am going to have to replace my mechanical cable driven speedo for an electric one. Looking for advice on what is a good brand that is a close replacement fit and didn't require alot of instrument panel mods...

I have heard that a 5" unit like the big Autometer was a fairly good fit, but I have not personally tried it yet. What's yours doing?

I am swapping a 5 speed trans that does not have a cable driven output, so I am going to use the pulse train from the trans sensor to work the electric speedo.

I would go with Autometer. Do not go with AutoGage. That is Autometers cheaper version. Autometer makes great gages.
