      its not all that hard. i scanned my 140 speedo, negatatixed the image, touched it up, changed a couple things, and then printed out getting the scale down as close to the original as possible. took me 4 tries, but i got it down to a perfect size.



      all the holes for the lights and turn signals will need to be cut out with an exacto knife. i also need 8.5x14" photo paper (non glossy) and a new ink cartridge

              The digits from 55-95 mph look a little jumbled but that's DAMN nice.

                  Sorry for the shitty pic, it was getting dark. Overall, it looks good. Seems a bit classier than the 85mph speedo. New cable is being a bitch, but it works.

                  Once the weather turns good enough to put the Cobras back on, we'll see how far the needle goes. :evil:

                        Can I swap in a 140 ODOMETER in my 91 GM? If so - what would be the right source?

                        Thanks!!!

                          You'll need to find a 90-91 Crown Victoria police car for the 140mph speedometer. Plugs right in and works with all the rest of your stock hardware.

                            it can be done but it requires much cutting of the dash......gmgt put a 140 speedo in his 84 tudor

                                Dash is different in 1990, basically identical to the Vic one. Not the old 2 gauge deal like older models.
