IS IT POSSIBLE???

[chevyGuy86]

is it possible to change JUST the speedometer in a 1986 Monte SS? i want to change the stock 85MPH to one from a different monte.. preferably one of the 115's or ive seen 150's from some gbody malibus. and tips/advice would be much appreciated. THANKS!

highway patrol maibus had 150mph speedos and im sure its possible, there are some overlays, i believe for it. im trying to search it out for you... if you change it i think you need to recalibrate it

i want to say that these gauges can be fitted in the opening... but to make look good you would prob need to change all of them... http://www.glowshiftdirect.com/elite-10 ... auges.aspx

how do you get it calibrated? and are those gauges with the link attached mechanical, or electrical? because i dont beleive when i had my trans build i had the electric speedo control put in my 700r4.
i think even with just one of those gauges it would look pretty cool but a little out of place since itd be the only one but i also think that the malibu's 150 would blend better with the stock gauge cluster...
what would i have to do as far as installation? new cable? new gears?

also, i just looked on glowshifts' website, if the speedo will work for me, i dont mind buying the tach along with that just to match, then i just have to sell the one i have now. now big deal

I have dakota digital guages in my el co...

but normally if these are electric, they should allow you to calibrate them and it should be simple... i think if you get the stock style gauges, you have to change the gear in the transmission... and figure out which one based on your tire size, etc....
