Source for Speedometer correction box?
I'm finally going to do the differential upgrade on my E420. I found a great source for my differential, only $470 delivered. It's from a 1992 500SL with only 50k miles (I know - it's only a 2.65 instead of a 2.82, but I'm a wuss).
Now I need to find a black box to correct the signal to my speedometer. Does anyone have a source for this, and more importantly, any instructions for doing it? Thanks, Troy K. 1994 E420 84k |

Man!
I did this MANY years ago for my VW when I swapped the OEM speedo for a big AutoMeter unit. I don't have the detailed info anymore but they were called "California Speedometers". I can't recall if you still have the mechanical or electrical setup on yours, but mine (of course) was mechanical. All I had to do was tell them the speed reduction/acceleration ratio and mark the portion of the cable that I sent to them to have the "black box" installed. The ratio info in your case would be the difference between the gearing on the the diif swap...in mine, I had to figure out (based on the manufacturers specs of the new speedo) what the offset was for accurate readings...

I'm almost 100% positive that this is an electronic speedo. Others that have done the differential swap have talked about an electronic speedo correction bos, but I don't know where to order one from or how to install it.
Any help from the differential swap club would be much appreciated. Troy K. 1995 E420 84k |
