I listed my cuda forsale, and when I looked at the competition I noticed my standard dash speedo face was different than the other guys.
I noticed I have the directional arrows in the face of the gauge itself, did not notice on the others. I also have a different font on the numbers (looks more modern).
when did they have a running change of the face?
Just was puzzled, I never knew they had different face styles for a 71 standard dash speedo face throughout the model year. I do have a late build car.
Is the dash face change known?

Hard to tell what you're refering to without pics....But the 70 challenger had a different standard gauge cluster...Here's a pic challenger on the bottom...

Here's a 70 barracuda standard cluster with a 150 speedo...

Or custom gauges are also a possibility...But I'm betting your 71 cluster looks like the one in the above challenger pic and the one in question is a 70 cluster in an early 71....Speaking of custom gauges I came across this one in my files...

Thats a Kilo speedo... same than 150 miles but 240 Kilometers... same everything just diff scale and gears for the counter

That kilo set is also from 72-74 and not 70-71.

I was to say 10K rpms, maybe because it was from an Hemi equipped car ?

but if 72 and lates makes no sense.

That's a '71 and up B Body speedo in there.

now what I find very interesting is the resetable counter on the "240KPH" speedo

Crazy is'nt it ??? ...I've saved some of those pics over the years for conversation pieces...But it does serve a valid point of the fact that people have swapped gauges around and some don't catch it... BTW the guy claimed the rallye speedo was caliberated for MPH, not KPH...

so what IS the correct speedo for a 71 (standard dash)?
Did they build with 2 versions or just one?

Does anyone know for sure?

71 cuda expert? where are you?

You have what is technically the 71-up standard cluster...Some early 71s probably got the 70 left-over clusters which is what you're seeing in the link you've provided...

Here's a non Rallye 150mph speedo.

What is that out of, and how was it able to be ordered? I've never seen a 150 mph speedo in a standard cluster.

stock kilo speedos were just 200 or 240s KPHs which is the same than 120 miles and of course as explained 150 miles
