When i put the new gauges in the speedometer is going to read wrong i think and i was wondering if anyone can help me out and tell me whats going on. And if it is going to read wrong, a quick fix/cheap fix. Please help!!!!! thanks-</P>

First time I misread this. If you're replacing the whole speedo I would think it would be fine. I thought you were just replacing the plastic with the numbers on it.
