Digital instrument cluster 140 mph?

[aeroplayer]

Hello,

Knowing how hard is to find 140 mph gauges.
Has anyone tried to fit these to a Monaco?
Maybe those could be modified?

^ Pretty cool looking speedo. I guess the 1968-70 B-body is the only Mopar application they have so far ?

Looks like when the key is off it looks like this ...



Then key on ...



Plus you can change the display color, depending on your mood .







Plus you can get it in mph or km/h and the temp would be in F° or C°. Will folks spend $1,495 for this speedo ? The built in performance meters are amazing. With a digital clock/timer and digital speedo, you can set it when you're stopped, and when you're ready, pound the gas and the speedo will precisely measure your 0-60 time and time/speed in a 1/4 mile. Very cool. Maybe if enough folks e-mail about a C-body speedo they would look into it but would they make both 120 and 12o versions ? Would they also have separate 140 and 14o for police applications ? I kind of doubt it. If the entire display was digital then I guess they could but that's not the case here.

Anyway, I like it !

- They also list this particular speedo as compatible with the same years Mopar B-body police cars. I figure the reason they include police cars is because the speedometer is calibrated to 100% digital accuracy ... does that makes sense ? 100% digital accuracy ?

Calibration
All calibration settings are handled through the included push button switch or the remote Bluetooth app. While many calibration settings exist, the speedometer and fuel level are completed in most cases (unless GPS-50-2 is used, negating the need to calibrate the speedometer) through a few taps of the push buttons and a short test drive of the vehicle.

If you use a certain GPS model you don't need to calibrate the speedometer.? So that's an extra piece of equipment you need attached to the speedometer ? I think most would like to only use the speedometer they just paid $1,495 for. The way I've understood it is the speedometer itself will calculate your speed and 1/4 mile etc. and it's digitally calibrated. I guess the GPS unit is the most accurate but in the 1/4 mile what would the difference in time be between a digital speedometer and GPS ? One hundredths of a second ? Heh I don't know but they are very cool.

It appears that back in the day, with these particular B-bodies, the numbers and letters were actually affixed to the lens of the speedo ! I did not know that.
