I found out that it was my speedo that was busted, not the wiring in the car. How hard is it to convert a 160mph speedo from a gasser to be accurate in a 300SD? I should have written down what car I pulled it from... But it reads 100-110mph when I'm going somewhere between 70-80mph, any gusses? My old speedo works occasionally for a few seconds, so I'm guessing its just a loose connection somewhere, probably fixable, if so, anyone interested in buying the one I pulled?

My SD easily passes the 85mph on the old speedo, I've had it up to around 120mph once (gps)
