Shine up all of the exposed brass, especially the nail head terminal on the temp sender Any corrosion/green color/dark brass is additional resistance and will skew your dash gauge colder. Good luck

Interested in a set.

PM returned.

Re: 67-72 Electric speedo
 

Hey Ls1nova, I'm interested and ready to purchase a faceplate set from you. Can you please PM me the details.

Re: 67-72 Electric speedo
 

does anyone covert these as a side business? I have the template from LS1NOVA and can get the parts from captianfab but not sure if i have the skills to make this happen myself.

Re: 67-72 Electric speedo
 

You might send a PM to member Tbone1964. He is in the business of rebuilding gauge clusters. Also member PGSigns has started rebuilding '64-'66 clusters, but I don't know if he does any other years.

Re: 67-72 Electric speedo
 

i started by askeing TBONE1964. He said he doesn't convert them anymore. But thanks for the other name I will look into it.

Re: 67-72 Electric speedo
 

Are you still doing the vinyl faces. Interested in getting a set

Re: 67-72 Electric speedo
 

Yes, I still have them. PM sent

Re: 67-72 Electric speedo
 

sorry if i'm just not seeing this, but i can't find the socket ya'll are using for the dash lights, i just seeing lots of different ideas. Can someone who has done the conversion post a link to one that they know works? Thanks for your help in advance

Re: 67-72 Electric speedo
 

Post number 321 gives the part number and how to slightly modify them to work. It's on page 13 of this posting

Re: 67-72 Electric speedo
 

thank you for describing where it is

Re: 67-72 Electric speedo
 

I cut it out with a cut off wheel and sanded the edges smooth with a DA sander. You're right, tin snips would probably be hard to use and would likely crack it.[/QUOTE]

I took the trip reset off then cut it out with a band saw, and then sanded the burs off with a piece of 120 grit sand paper. Could do the same think with a jig saw for those of you that don't have a band saw

Re: 67-72 Electric speedo
 

Are there still sets available? If so I would like to get one

Re: 67-72 Electric speedo
 

Yes, PM sent.

Re: 67-72 Electric speedo
 

The paint for my numbers was so thick that the polishing compound wouldn't work, i wet sanded it with 2000 grit sand paper, then used some medium cut compound to get rid of the scratches.

Re: 67-72 Electric speedo
 

I'd like to know this too...would be cool to also swap that tach

Re: 67-72 Electric speedo
 

Just wanted to give a shout out to LS1nova71, Captianfab, TBone and everyone else on this thread :metal: Finally got a chance to get in some work on the speedo swap and made some good progress in a timely matter thanks to everyones input/parts in on the forum. Next round is wiring this thing.

Re: 67-72 Electric speedo
 

^^^^^ Nice job, looking real good!

Re: 67-72 Electric speedo
 

I'm a little confused on how we are supposed to set up the fake face plate screws, does anyone have pictures of how they set it up?

Re: 67-72 Electric speedo
 

Basically, you just drill a small hole in the face and they just push in, and if the hole isn't too big, they will stay in there. You will have to mark and drill holes under the face with a bigger drill bit so that the screw part has somewhere to go. I found this to be easier than trying to cut the head off the little screw and gluing them on like I did the first time.

Re: 67-72 Electric speedo
 

thanks that clarifies things a lot

Re: 67-72 Electric speedo
 

PM Sent on getting a set of these.

Re: 67-72 Electric speedo
 

Hey Eric,
Any way I can get another speedo decal sent my way. Changing some things around. Thanks

Re: 67-72 Electric speedo
 

Ok. I'm currently doing this right now. I've got a question, when the needle is straight up and down its at 50mph. The sticker I'm putting on straight up and down will be 60 mph. Is the speedometer correction in the tune?
