Hey guys - I'm finally buttoning my interior and gauges back together. I refinished all the gauges, repainted the interior bezels the correct light blue for my 68, did the electronic tach conversion, and added a ring of RGB LED strip lights to make my gauges look factory original but with a nice new modern touch. I took the speedo drive all apart to find the very common stripped first and second worm gears, so once I put everything back together I discovered it is now jumping all over the place and probably about to spin off into oblivion and snap the needle.
I'd like to do an electronic conversion like I did to my tach to keep the original gauge face and odometer operation. Does this exist? I don't want to just rebuild the mechanical gears because I'll be swapping in my T56 at some point so I would like to make that easier on myself down the road.
Thanks!
Kevin
Here's a video and some photos of what I did so far:
