Here's a good one, my alfa's gauge goes up to 140mph. The cars top speed is 115mph! :-p
Those Atari dashes are good for that, lol. Mine just needed bulbs and the solder joints reworked. You can get the photocell for the dimmer at radio shack. Might give it a shot before spending big $$.
115 or not, those Alfas are fun to whip around corners.

I took a buddy of mine out through the mountains in my 79 Spider. He's never gone over a 100 in his life, especially around corners. Kinda scared him.

Did 4 hours at 70 with a 5 speed and 33's stock gearing. What's the problem?
If its a auto then throw a external tranny cooler on it.
