Thumbs up

there's a great place in Arlington that is a dedicated speedo shop. It's close to Napa (on Abram) , but the next street south.

I believe it's called Arligton Speedo Shop. (not 100% sure)

Great price though.

When you guys install a speedo do you have to change the gear thats in the tranny to match it since usally the one in the tranny is for the stock speedometer. if i remeber right they come in different colors.

I got one at NAPA for mine. It was number 6151603.

Oh, and no, you don't have to change the speedo gears in the tranny when you change a speedo. Only time you need to change these is when you make tire size changes or rear gears. The Autometer speedo works like a charm with the tranny speedo gears.
