The speedo works correctly after 60ish MPH and stays working till I drop below that speed I wouldnt know if the fuel gauge works cause I've only driven the car about 30miles total and i'm afraid to drive it more to see if the gauge moves down and run out of gas, I would think it would move a little below F after 30miles of hard driving that I was doing. The speedo only marked like 10miles on the trip odometer seeing as it stays at 0MPH when on the street.

So should I just a buy a new sending unit or try to follow the wire from the dash all the way back to see if its shorted? And where would I have my speedo worked on if it is my speedo? I searched and read about speedo shops but I never heard of any of them locally even when I searched online in my area, also the car has white face gauges could that be affecting the reading improper install?
