I have an '80 with a stock (85 mph) speedo, what have you replaced yours with? I would like to see about 130...not that I expect to be going that fast.
thanks

i have a 79 130mph that might swap in stait up but im not sure if it is a strait swap. i would think so since 79 and 80 are the same, but cant say so for sure.

I think the speedo unit can be swapped from 79-83, but not positive. BTW, 79 and 83 have 130MPH speedos, while 80-82 were the 85MPH units. Dern federal regulations.........
Glad I have an 83 with the 130.
