Most people, including myself use the 78 model 145 MPH speedo. The cross flags are not quite right but it's close. The 165 MPH model most aftermarket companies sell (I.E: "Ecklers") have no cross flags at all. Not to mention they are quite expensive.
I had my gauge rebuilt years back with the 145 MPH face,,,,,,I can't remember the guy's name. Mayby Redline,?.. I'm sure someone here knows who I'm talking about..

Good Luck. Scott.....
