85 mph speedometer to 140 mph conversion by whom?
I thought I saw a post that mentioned the option of getting a speedometer converted to 140 mph. I have the notorious 1980 with 85 mph and now that I have restored with a 425 hp motor,etc it really deserves a little more range. If you know where I can get this done let me know. It should be cheaper than the outrageously priced 140 mph replacement available at Ecklers.
Thanks in advance,

REDLINE GAUGE and CLOCK REPAIR (no web site)
1-800-375-2310, attn: JOHN
This company will send you a complete 140mph Speedo with installation directions, which he also explained to me over the phone, and doesn't sound bad at all.
One major advantage is they will send you a new one within a week, and wait for you to install it, (within 10 days, no core charge) to send yours, NO DOWN TIME!!!!
ALL THIS FOR: $57.00 JIM

I got this from a post a couple of weeks ago...
I don't know if Redline has a website or an email address, but I do know that several people have used Redline for their conversion and have been very pleased with the price and service.

Call John at Redline - 800/375-2310. I paid $56.50 w/exchange.

BTW John was using NOS GM 140mph faces and only swapped them out and re-calibrated your speedo. jim

Yeah, you're probably right, I wasn't thinking I just posted a quote from a post I had saved from another guy.

Marc,
I have the 140 speedo. John at Redline is the guy for it.
It's a piece of cake to install too.
Get it - You won't be sorry.
