Calibrating 140 speedometer

I installed 140 gauge faces and I was wondering if I changed my VSS to one out of a 140 speedo vechile, would my speedometer display the correct speed??

Assuming that it wasn't a 140 mph gauge before you put the face on it, then no.

You need a VSS ratio converter available at your local friendly speed shop.
