Jim Nordwall, thank you very much for the speedometer tip.  In the
now-defunct Hot Rod Mechanix magazine there was an article about printing
"old" faces for new gauges,  using Adobe Acrobat or one of those graphic
software programs.  You still need to get a scale that shows true speed,
unless you were very lucky and both speedometers were exactly the same
scale?  One question, when you replace the needles, how do you put it back
where it needs to be (i.e. calibrated properly)?
