Speedo question
Are there any differences in how the speedometers for these cars are calibrated. IOW, will one from a V-6 car work right in a V-8 car? I had a 145 mph in mine, but it broke and now I have a 120 mph ready to install. Also, can the faceplates be swapped and will it read correct? Is there any issues with pulling the needle off to change the faceplates out?
