Wow! Those look great! Sigh! Another project I should undertake between the bales of hay.

One of the projects I never documented on my web site was the conversion of my tach to electronic and my speedo to GPS back in 2013. I sent both stock gauges to Morris at West Valley and he not only converted them but he had his “artist” repaint the faces Magnolia.  The speedo now has GPS innards, a power lead and an antenna (hidden under the ashtray). I’ve tracked the speed against both my Garmin GPS and Waze and it’s spot on perfect. The beauty of a GPS speedo is there’s no need for a tranny cable and it doesn’t care about the rear end ratio or your tire size….. it just tracks you in real time.

Hi All,

 

I'm looking for recommendations for converting the speedometer on my '75 TR6 with the Toyota 5 speed transmission to an electronic style.  Alternatively I'm looking for a 90 degree drive angle connector from the transmission to the speedo cable.  

 

Thanks for the help,

 

James Maddox
