i think ill just look for a svo one or switch my dash to the 87 one i already have, but i still need the 140 speedo cus 87 didnt go past 85mph, how dumb is that these cars will do waht? 140mph? and they have a 85speedo!! that digital thing was ugly but i like the price and all the functions and calibiration stuff it can do, no more messn with speedo gears with that, just wish it looked nicer

it was a federal law, no vehicle could be sold with a speedo over 85mph

I love mine though, I think I'll post it again

i have no idea what that is cus it doesnt say 140 but has alot of red lines after 85...so how could it be federal law if the svo came with a higher speedo?? and my landlord has a v6 turd 78 that reads to 120... anyways what is yours a ssp one?

its an SVO 140mph speedo, the numbers stop at 85 but the hash marks keep going to 140, Fords way of getting around the fed law

The Federal Law was enacted in 1979 and revoked in 89/90(i believe)

mine is a Ford Motorsports 140mph speedo
