Re: Gauge restoration for 66 1600

I would like to keep the mechanical odometer display rather than a digital display. The trans will be a Ford T5 that has cable driven speedometer (about 76" in length and I have no idea yet if its input profile and threaded coupling to the roadster speedo is the same but that is very unlikely). (The cables are available with and without VSS). A GPS type or maybe the Ford VSS, with a buffer box or other mech converter to the roadster cabling input would do the trick but I don't know if that's available; I can start checking around if folks here haven't seen this yet. I'm thinking it is a thing because there are so many classics where restorers want to upgrade the gauges incl speedo but keep the mechanical look of the odometer. Thoughts?DAC21 wrote: Mon Dec 09, 2024 3:58 amYes he can as well as convert the speedo to gps based instead of cable drive. I believe I have read he can convert the tac. as well to electronic pulse (not sure if that's the correct terminology) eliminating the cable. And the Amp gauge to volts. Of course it all comes at a price.
