Default 1981 Corvette Speedometer Sucks! Help! White face gauges?

Does anybody know where I can find a speedo for my 81 that goes past 85mph? I want something that fits right in there. Also, I've seen those white face gauges on a few ricers, can we get those for our C3's?

so far as white face gauges go - see this thread - http://forums.corvetteforum.com/zero...ply&id=1654193

There are several places that rebuild and recalibrate factory gauges - if memory serves. try to search the forum archives for more - I dont have that information.

You can buy a speedo from a '78 or early '79. They are basically the same, but register 140mph. Be sure to buy the appropriate drive gear to go in you tranny.
