Yeah, that's the speedo. I had an el cheapo wal-mart on on there at first, but it got all confused and jumped around erratically at any speed above 40. So I decided to spend the money on a good one..... A whole $60!
It was dead nuts accurate up to 110 (wouldn't dare to any faster on that thing) and I clocked it against my gps.
I would totally use one again.
I'm a bit envious of yours. I woulda rather built a twin, due to how narrow they are, up I did okay with the 4 banger. Thing had some pep anyways.
 
My links are broken in my first post on page 1, and I can't see an edit button anywhere, so I'm reposting my before and after of my 1950 Studebaker.

The car was purchased Aug. 1998 in a semi-dismantled condition.
The body was in reasonable condition with minimal through rust (or so it seemed, pre-chemical bath).
The car was stripped of everything, body taken off the frame and sent for an acid bath.

You did an outstanding job on the design and build of your Stude. Did you get the inspection problems solved?
