67-72 Electric speedo

[68c10airstream]

My first vendor choice based on many reasons is gmc pauls. Next would be chevyduty (classic parts of america). The good news is the 8k tach price has dropped as more vendors stock it. The bad news is the clear lens that goes across the complete cluster contains the 8k numbers, so to do the 8k tack and the ls1nova cluster mods for a complete job you must have a 8k tach kit (complete=tin cluster body parts, lens, wiring, etc) Do NOT purchase just the tach alone as a replacement, you MUST purchase a complete kit. I think i paid just under $300.00 during a spring sale from a vendor out of kentucky because i needed heater parts and other things, could fill the order right away, and a free shipping month promo, all of this from memory of about 3 years ago.

My first decal job was a flop and ls1nova fixed me up with a replacement. From memory my screwup was i didn't drop it down (off-center) far enough and i mocked it up before finalization and the numbers and scales just didn't look right. They look great sitting in the drivers seat but looking at it straight on with my bench seat removed and sitting directly on the floor the cluster looks odd. Another words, the design engineers have various depth levels off center to correct for the line of sight angle. Take the cluster in your hands, arms out stretched level, it looks odd. Now start to lower it down to say near your waist, maybe just above that and the cluster looks correct. I throw out many descriptions to help, as being a dealer mechanic and looking at manuals usually didn't help much.

Page 5 post 115 of this thread shows how to put the decal on the S-10 face if that's what you are talking about. If you already have that part done and are trying to get it put on straight, then its really just a little bit of trial and error. And like 68c10airstream mentioned, it won't be exactly straight on, it will be down a little bit so it looks right when you are looking at it in the driver's seat.

I have a few left, but the speedo faces must have gotten wet at some point, so they dont look the best and I dont feel comfortable selling them so I'm going to have some more made. It will be a week or so before they're done. I'll message you guys when they're done. Thanks!

ls1nova- Thanks for an excellent kit. Your attention to detail is first rate! This is one of those modifications that really blends the old with the new.

[Scott Johnson]

[ls1nova71]

Yes I still have them. The info is here. http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=600922

Will a 95 work or does it have to be 96-97? Thanks

If it's a 100mph speedometer it will work, but either '94 or '95 was a one year only, I can't remember exactly, and was an 85mph speedo and that won't work correctly.

I'm pretty sure I have some more kits. As for the 71 Chevrolet, it depends on what speedo it has, if its round or the long sweeping one. For the '59, its doable, but isnt easy. I am actually building a '59 now, I can only wish it was a convertible, but just did the gauges. You can see them in my thread on LS1Tech.

I reread the instructions and am wondering if my speedo is broken or if Im missing something. My speedometer doesnt start to move until 30-35 mph. But then it goes 1 for 1 with actual speed. Its like it is starting at -30mph or something. Is there a certain way to put the needle on the shaft? I just stuck it on there thinking it would sweep the stops to find 0 but it doesnt move when you power it up.
