Has Anyone converted Mechanical speedo to Electric?
87 4.0L 4WD
I'm tired of this bouncing needle. I'm gonna try lubing this new cable again, but if that doesn't work, I was thinking of trying to convert it to electric using parts from a later XJ. i.e. and electric speedo cluster and the sender.
As an upgrade, I can install a speedo interface so that I can calibrate on the fly if I change out wheel/tire sizes (on a 2nd set).
