Hi all,
I have seen some nice dash upgrades on the site. This is my
first experience with electric speedometers and I am impressed. Just want to
pass on some things that I have learned for those interested.
At first I wanted to use Cyberdyne digital gauges. I ordered a
set, tach, speedo and speedo sending unit in May from Jegs. In September the
tach was still backordered. I returned the speedo for credit and bought
Autometer. That is extent of my Cyberdyne experience. I never hooked it up.
I already had the Cyberdyne sending unit installed and did not
return it. It works great with the Autometer speedo. $33 for the Cyberdyne unit
and $80 for the Autometer.
The best thing about electric speedo’s vs mechanical is the
ease of calibration. Just drive an exact measured distance and hit the
calibration button. Done. Change tire or wheel size....recalibrate. It is very
accurate, dead on.
I put the new gauges in my 41 Ply Street Rod, this is how I
ended up with the gauges I just put in 43.
