Just an update on this project.
I got it all hooked up and in the car. I had to move the antenna to the top of the windshield hoop, but otherwise it works great. It took some time to get the calibration right, and now both the speedometer and the odometer are accurate. The speedometer is calibrated to within 1mph of the cable driven speedometer, and both of them are accurate when compared to the GPS speedometer app on my phone. The update rate is so good that the needles on both speedometers move in synchronization when accelerating and decelerating. The only thing left is to remove the speedometer cable, the angle drive, and the speedometer drive in the transmission. I am going to put a plug in place of the drive so there will be no more oil leaks. Now the weather needs to warm up a bit. |

Let's see it in the dash. Can you tell it is a 911 Speedo? |

I will have to hunt one down. Right now my dash is all torn apart. I am working on the wiring for the MS3Pro, and I had to tear it apart to do the check engine light, the alternator light, and the tach wiring.

And this is the speedo today. I just took it 5 minutes ago.
 It's a custom dash face done by North Hollywood speedometer. The GPS unit is mounted behind the clock. I can take the clock out of the dash and get to the calibration button on the GPS receiver. That's why the clock has been removed. |
