What would be the best one to buy? I am needing my gauges now, I need to get a speedo that can be calibrated ,and does everyone take the pick up point
for sensor from the propshaft? or are there any other alternatives?

Do Not Buy Telemetrix Guages as the speedo's are cr*p!

I am using an Acewell 3150 digital gauge. Speedo picks up from rear drive shaft. Revs from HT Lead.

I may be missing something here, but why not use a speedometer driven by a cable from your Ford gearbox? If the cable is a problem Speedy Cables will
supply one with the correct ends and they will also calibrate the speedo as well.
