Guest Posted April 3, 2002 Share Posted April 3, 2002 Why is there nowhere FREE on the internet that offers free printable 120 MPH speedometer panels for g-Body Regals? There are some for Cutlass' with the rally pack, but Regals never had a circular rally pack.<P>-Preciate it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BUICK RACER Posted April 4, 2002 Share Posted April 4, 2002 Probably cause the turbo guys have used the Riviera 110 MPH version for years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NTX5467 Posted April 5, 2002 Share Posted April 5, 2002 Take your existing speedo to a speedo shop and have them recalibrate it to the metric scale numbers, but to read that scale in MPH instead of KPH. All they have to do is reset the magnetism level in the speed cup magnet. Then, make an appropriate label to state which scale to read the speed on (just for good measure). The odometer will still read the same mileage as before.<P>Enjoy!<BR>NTX5467 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 6, 2002 Share Posted April 6, 2002 Both my 87 regals have had speedos in them that went to 140. Prod Buick from 84 Rivs,special edition models.However,these are hard to find now.I thought maybe Kirban would produce them because he took photos of mine at BG. You have to use the Riv gears.

Guest Posted April 7, 2002 Share Posted April 7, 2002 I saw an 84 Riviera at the yard with a digital cluster. Could I use this on my 87 G-Body Regal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted April 8, 2002 Share Posted April 8, 2002 I suspect it may need other components to make it work.It may not even fit.Check at Bowling Green this year and see what they have or contact some of the Regal-T suppliers.Kirban sells a 145 speedo decal but your speedo needs to be recalibrated for it to work.

Guest Posted April 9, 2002 Share Posted April 9, 2002 Digital speedos only go to 85 unless they are modified.<P>There's no free answer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest STAGE-2 TORQUE Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 Probably cause the turbo guys have used the Riviera 110 MPH version for years.Hi, Ms. Vasilow.I hop all is well.I finally got my (2nd) Buick 455 Regal together. My 1st was built by Scotty while in Brooklyn years back at Pee Gee Performance.These days, my new .030-over 1973 Buick 455 Stage-1 V8 was built by Dan Smith of D&S Performance in NJ.My '87 Regal is a light-blue Special-T (Olds307/TH200-OD/7.5" 308-geared rear) ... with '73 Rivera 455/"built" TH400 3-speed automatic w/2800-stall 10-inch/'84 "built" 8.5" 3:42/.This a clip of it at Domenic's Shop. Mr. Bruno-D of L.I., NY introduced me to Domenic a few months ago ... and THANK GOD FOR DOMENIC!!! Thanks very much again with all your help in the past ... and have a great week.

NTX5467 Posted October 19, 2011 Share Posted October 19, 2011 If you can find an "export" model in KPH, then you can get a speedo shop to recalibrate the speed function to MPH.Just a thought,NTX5467 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RivNut Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 Buick built a 20th anniversary edition of the Riviera in 1983. That XX edition came with a 140 mph speedometer from the factory. One of the guys at the Turbo Regal website took some of my art work and built me a White face for the 140 mph speedometer. It works fine with the gearing that's in the standard production cars with the 5.0 liter V8 with the 2.78 final drive. The hardest part of the deal is finding the XX speedometer. Good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest STAGE-2 TORQUE Posted October 6, 2014 Share Posted October 6, 2014 My Digital Dash stopped working COMPLETELY.:eek:Good morning. Does anyone know of a shop in Queens or Brooklyn that can change my non-functioning digital dash cluster to a regular 1987 Regal dash cluster? The Dyno-Shop electrician told me the non-working digital dash cluster is draining my battery when the Buick is parked overnight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
