I just got the full set of 140 MPH gauges for a fox including all the little elctricals in the back. Just wondering if I could throw this right on and have it be accurate or do I have to have it calibrated somewhere. Thanks in advance.

Fist I would see how much it's off by if any then I would be on the safe side and get it calibrated

ryan, it this is the complete speedo assembly, you can just remove your 85 and install the 140 no difference.... if your current speedo is off now, this will be off also. if it is perfect now, then it will be perfect after [Razz]
