Looking for a set of gauges to refurbish/update to have ready to swap in when I redo my dash and wood.
Thanks much!

i have several sets,
first - do you have a 2800cs or a 3.0cs? the colors of the numbers are different and the redline on the tach is different.

next, do you know what the number is on the back of your speedo? there are at least 3 different US numbers, which are related to what the gearing in your diff is. check out this thread to help you - https://e9coupe.com/forum/threads/speedometer-and-differential-ratios.35162/
 
Hi Scott - thanks for the help! I have a 3.0 and it's currently at SFDon's so I'll need to check with him to get the diff gearing info. It started life as a '74 automatic, but it's getting a 5 speed (not CR) and 3.5 upgrade. I assume it has its original diff. Also, could you message me any pics and price info?
Thanks again -
Chris

Scott - I spoke with SFDon this morning and I'm going to end up with a 3.45 ratio diff. That said, in reviewing the link you included, it looks like I could have a speedo shop recalibrate a speedo to work with my setup. I'm OK doing that, since a shop will be restoring them anyway. Assuming the calibration thing is accurate, I can use any speedo. Agree?
Thanks -
Chris

I've done this a few times. It's no bigge for a competent shop. Beware the cost and lead times with the usual suspects can get crazy.

I've used Moma Manufacturing several times and found them MUCH easier to work with, significantly less expensive and a fraction of the turnaround time.

North Hollywood can retrofit a GPS adapter to your speedo.

You don't have any gauges now?

Great to know, thanks! I have gauges now but they need the once over. Plus, I want to do the "clock to oil temp/pressure" upgrade and swap actual values for the water temp color arch. The plan is to get the gauges done as well as source everything else I need to do the interior refurb so I'm not waiting for anything when I go to do it. Make it an "out with the old, in with the new" event. I'll put all my "old" stuff up for sale once it's all done.
 
Chris - i will photo the gauges tomorrow when its a bit warmer. have to dig everything out. will PM you tomorrow
 
Chris ... no response to the PM, hopefully you found another set. would appreciate a reply either way.
