Brent,

Does your speedometer have a chip that you just drive a mile and it will automatically calibrate the speedometer when you change gears or tire sizes ? Mine does and that is why I like it. As for the gauges, I have the whole set and mine are mechahnical oil and temp gauge with black faces and white numbers. But I heard a friend of mine who was looking for one say that they no longer make this set. He also had weird troubles with his speedometer and we took the leads from the Hall Effect Sensor off and traced them all the way to the speedometer. We found a very small bare spot in his sending lead and it was rubbing on a piece of metal. We fixed that and he has never had another problem. You might check with NAPA as our NAPA store had a few of the older VDO gauges still in stock a few months ago. They seem to have gone to the more modern look now.
