Thank you,

Am I looking at it correctly or does it only go up to 140kms? I would like something more in the order of at least 200kms. I was thinking if necessary then I would ge a 130mph guage and have a set of overlays to change them to kms. If I am not mistaken, do I need a manual speedo to replace my manual speedo to do the job? Any help? Thanks.

You can get them up to 240 km/h.

where would I get a straight kilometers per hour for at least 200 kilometers per hour in a manual speedometer. Or if that isnt feasible can I switch to a speedo with the sensor deal and install on my car. (1984Z28 with manual speedo that is now dual 85mph/140kph) Thanks.

The easiest way would be to find one in Canada. It will still have the MPH markings but the KM's per hour will be larger.

I'll keep an eye out for one and PM you if I find anything. I have a couple but they only go to 140. Try posting in the Ontario regional fourm on this board. Might have better luck.

There are no electronic speedometers that will fit your dash, you'll need a mechanical one. You'll probably just need to find a car in the junkyard that has the optional 145mph/245kmh speedometer. Base model cars had the 85mph/140kmh or 115mph/190kmh one, depending on year.

If you want one badly enough, you can call David T's in Edmonton, but make sure you have plenty of vaseline on hand.

Thanks guys. Please let me know if you hear of one that has the kms in larger style and miles in smaller. The higher the guage the better but anything around 200 would be great.

There are a couple of shops in my area that sell f-body parts but they are super expensive. Try posting in the Canadian and the Ontario regional fourms. I bet someone will have one. I will keep an eye out for you in the meantime.
