Custom Guage Faces.....possible?
I sent this email to the MacEwen or whatever guy who makes the white face guage covers......can you read it and let me know if it will work (if he can in fact make it). Thanks
"I would like to know if you offered custom white faced
guages.....I have a 1992 Camaro RS with a 305 V8 (110
mph)...I will be putting in a new engine..with a guage
cluster from a 350 Camaro (145 mph). Because of the
new trans, rear end, and tire size...I will need to
buy a Digital Dakota electronic speedo calibarator. I
figured since i will be using this...It may be
possible to get a guage face that has a higher speed
rating on the speedo....maybe 200mph or so. i would
like to know if tihs is possible, if so, will th
Digital Dakota calibarator make the speedo
accurate....and how much it will cost to do this.
Thank you."

You don't need that dakota digital calibrator. You just need the proper drive/driven gears for your VSS.

Anything is possible when you put your mind to it.
Make a 200MPH speedo?
is it Posible: YES
It would take alot of figuring to do properly. and some electronics knowhow.

I will need the Dakota Digital thing.....I will be using a Ford 9" with 3.50 gears, a T56 transmission, and who knows what size tires.....sure...I can maybe get something that will be "close"...but why not get the Dakota Digital box and have it right on? And as for the guage face...I'll see what MacEwen (or whatever the hell the place is) says.....even if he can just add a few more numbers on the end (when the hell will i be going faster than 145) it'll be cool...if not...i'll just stay with the 145 limit.
