I agree, that is just a little too cool to pass up.

Are you sure it isnt Brother's performance rather than BBK ??? Back in the day, they offered this type of service. Basically took 85 mph (90 mph) speedometers, doubled the internals, added a new face and ended up at 180 mph. Not sure they did it for t-birds, but they did Mustangs for sure.

At the bottom of the speedo,centered under the numbers,it has "BBK" printed on it.How they built them,I don't know.Maybe the same way.I'll know when it gets here,and I'll post pics and details.

As far as digi,I'd rather have full digi gauges than buttstuffog,but I don't want to spend a week trying to figure out the wiring and swapping the sending units or whatever is required to do it.I miss my digi speedo in the blue car.I just don't miss the blue car.It would also read to 199mph.I sold the cluster to a member a long time ago.

I'm unsure of which one I'm selling right now.I need to see the new one.Either way,the price will be the same,but I'm not saying a price in this thread.I'll reserve that until I make the final decision.

Not sure never did it. I was messin with you. I do know it can be done, I just don't have the time now to figure it out. They do show the way to change digi to buttstuffog I would think it could be reversed?. Maybe someone else can elaborate.
