speedometers
Hey Grtdane, I am not sure if you are wanting to just buy one or not but at Eckler's.com . They have a Speedometer conversion that you can do. I am going to be doing this myself next winter. They use your speedo head and make the conversion. Hope this will help. BDCMPNY

I had mine changed. Got tired of it being pinned and not knowing how fast I am going. With 700-R, a stock 81 will cruise at 100 if you have the room.

So you're putting a ZZ4 in I would guess???
I have a ZZ3 with a few goodies and dynoed 364HP. My car (71) will do 248,6kph witch is approx. 155mph. (4 speed)
