    Welcome..

    It may be the Palo Alto Speedometer can rework your unit and faceplate with the higher range...otherwise see if TRutland is parting out a 1976 -79 car for one.

    You are in the US?

    Palo Alto converted the 85 mph speedometer I had in my 78 GTS some years ago. I don't know if it was the original speedometer but the end result was very satisfactory. I specified that they do the change and calibrate it. It looks great, works great, and appears to be pretty acurate. The work cost about $250-300, but was well worth it in my opinion. I ws about a 3-week turn around.

    That is a lot of $ for a resistor and a faceplate. But it might be your only choice, used speedos are much more.
