Not really hijacked. He did mention a speedometer problem. I had one made for my 28 Chrysler similar to the original gauges. Even says "1928 Chrysler Series 72" on it. Chuck

Chuck, I was talking about I should put in the link to the 2 1/16" gauge (2 1/16" GPS Speedo) I was referring to, I didn't mean you should have put in a link. That's why I edited my post.

I like the way you can 'customize' the gauge with the bezel of your choice, font, etc. The Standard 'Tick Style' looks pretty close to matching my SW gauges. I don't think the price is too bad considering the hassle it is to get a speedo to read 'close' to what it should.

Now that we've hijacked the thread, back to the show that's playing...

Sorry, didn't think about it. Here is the link to their GPS gauges. I think they will be making more stock replacement or conversions in the future. A great idea who's time has come. Chuck

Hey, Chuck. Good info. Wouldn't it be neat if they could make a unit to connect to a stock speedo head? I would like to keep the stock speedo/dash in my '55. Just think of the restored/retro-mod cars that could use a device like that for an accurate speed reading.

Or maybe better to modify a stock speedo with the GPS unit.

If those aren't feasible I would go with a 2 1/16" GPS Speedo to fit in with my 2 1/16" mechanical oil and water temp gauges.

Sometimes a link to the product helps others find it.

I recently found a speedometer from Speedhut. Its a GPS unit! Works great, wont care about changes in tire size or gear and is very accurate. They build them as various diameter round gauges and I expect soon as more stock appearing assemblies. All you need is a power source and a place to mount the small sensor. Chuck

I'll bet someone makes an electric sending unit for the speedo, the rest could be old style mechanical/electrical add ons/

Is there really a Y-Block under all those hair dryers and tubes! You will need to paint your valve covers a really bright color so people can see them! Chuck

Right now I don't have any gauges but the factory fuel and volt gauge work. I am going to get a Dakota Digital dash that will fit later. If I bring the laptop with me when I drive my trans computer software has a virtual dash option that has all my pids it's pretty nice. We have our dyno day tomorrow at the car show and I haven't decided if I am going to run it yet or not. If I do I will have video for you guys.

How did you run all the instruments etc. without the computer?

Well I made my first trip to town and back and the Y ran great. I love this new two wheel drive and newer suspension ride. Truck runs great and engine is a beast. I am running it at 15 psi right now but I haven't ran it on the dyno yet. We have a car show this weekend and I may strap it down just to show everyone what's up. I think I resolved an issure I was having though, when I removed the engine I decided to install a new rear main seal because mine was leaking a little in my old truck. So I installed a new one and since I got it running my engine has been leaking really bad. So tonight I raised the truck and found that the aluminum housing that the seal sits in is cracked and leaking like hell. So I did what every good mechanic would do, I sprayed it off with brake clean and siliconed the crap out of it. Let is dry and no more leak. Here are some finished pics.
