Just curious if anyone has any experience disassembling the speedometer and if it's a nightmare or not. Lol, I wouldn't even know where to start. Thanks

Not trying to thread jack .. but I always see the speedo that pegs @ 85 I have 2 .. but I also have one that tops @ 145 whats up with that ?
Wikipedia said:On September 1, 1979, in a regulation that also regulated speedometer and odometer accuracy, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) required speedometers to have special emphasis on the number 55 and a maximum speed of 85 mph (137 km/h). However, on October 22, 1981, NHTSA proposed eliminating speedometer and odometer rules because they were "unlikely to yield significant safety benefits" and "[a] highlighted '55' on a speedometer scale adds little to the information provided to the driver by a roadside speed limit sign.
.. why does it go to 85 ?
