Neven,
Just to clarify on your previous posting, what is being said is NOT that 1968 and newer speedometers only go to 120 (200kph). All 911 speedometers go to 150mph(250kpm).

Instead, the 1968 and newer gauges are cosmetically different. The pre-1968 gauges have chrome bezels and green lettering. The 1968 gauges and newer have black plastic bezels and white lettering. All of the pictures with gauges on this thread are from 1967 models and older.

By the way, if you are planning on running an upgarded iginition system which uses a CD box (Bosch, MSD, Crane, etc) chances are good that you will either need an adapter kit or need to have the tachometer rebuilt/recalibrated - don't ask me how I know. North Hollywood Speedometer can rebuild/recalibrate an original early model tachometer for $150 plus any cosmetic restoration. All 1969 and newer Porsche 911 models used a CD box so no recalibration is necessary for 1969 and newer tachometers that use a CD box. Good luck.
