Default who's doing 140mph speedometer conversion / repair

Where do you send it to ? Looks like Red Line instrument repair closed the doors , Ekler's lost my speedo when they did the initial 85 to 140 conversion and took months for them to find it so I don't want to send it back, anyhow I hit 140mph last summer and it bounced a couple times and quit . My search just recommends Red Line but they are closed down for good , who else is repair speedometers ?

thanks

Wow, what have you done to your car so it is capable of 140? Mine was light in the front the one time I very briefly hit 100 on a deserted road...

Aluminum heads , 2101 intake , headers and a 700R4 on a 1980 L82 and I felt comfortable at that speed except the T rated tires came to mind

Redline is still in business, they did mine. I'm not going to be going 140mph, but it just looked better, got it rebuilt, facing etc. He is doing my 66 cluster shortly, and I just got off the phone with him. The number is 731-571-0766 https://www.redlineg.com/
