1973/77 F100/350 100 MPH Speedometer / 1975/77 Econoline.

Believing doesn't cut it.

If you aren't sure, you shouldn't post, as that causes confusion.

The facts are...as original:

D4TZ17255A .. 100 MPH Speedometer / Fits: 1973/74 F100/350 (D4TZ17255A replaced D3TZ17255B).

D4TZ17255A was replaced by Ford with the following part number in 1975:

D5TZ17255A .. 100 MPH Speedometer / Fits: 1973/77 F100/350 & 1975/77 Econoline.

There is no 100 MPH speedometer listed for 1978/79's.

There is no 130 MPH speedometer listed for anything!
---------------------------------------------------
Four different 85MPH/130 KPH speedometers are listed for 1977/79's.

D7TZ17255B .. Dual Band Speedomoter-85MPH/130KPH / Fits: 1977/79 F100/350 & Econoline.

D8TZ17255B .. Dual Band Speedometer-85MPH/130KPH / With Opening for Economy Jewel (lens) / Fits: 1978/79 F100/350, Bronco & Econoline.

D8TZ17255A .. Dual Band Speedometer 130KPH/85MPH / Fits: 1977/79 F100/350 & Econoline.

D8TZ17255C .. Dual Band Speedometer 130KPH/85MPH / With Opening for Economy Jewel (lens) / Fits: 1978/79 F100/350, Bronco & Econoline.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Part number info from the 10/1979 edition of the 1973/79 Ford Light Truck Parts Catalog.

In the final edition of this catalog printed 10/1988, both the 100 MPH speedometers were obsoleted.

When I type parts related info here on FTE, it comes straight from Ford parts catalogs.

It does not come from "I heard it somewhere" / "I think that's right" / "I read it on the internet" / "Someone told me..."

AFAIK, there is no place you can download parts catalogs, but hipoparts.com sells Ford parts catalogs on CD's.

1973/79: There are two truck parts catalogs.

One is the Light Truck Parts Catalog (F100/350 & Econoline).

One is the Heavy Truck Parts Catalog (F600 and larger trucks).

1973/79 Bronco parts are in the 1973/79 Passenger Car Parts Catalog.

There was a 1973/79 parts catalog on eBay. I asked seller what edition it was, and it's not the final one. I have never seen a microfiche set on eBay, just the books. It's damn THICK.

Tell me about it! And it isn't all that accurate anymore either.

Only on 1977/79.

American ones are 80MPH (big numbers).

Canadian ones are 130 km/h in big numbers.
