Speedo question

If it only has one scale you have to replace the speedometer. The car is old enough though that you can probably find a used instrument cluster at a salvage yard fairly inexpensively.

Odd though, I've seen several older Canadian spec Volvos in the US that still had the metric speedo.

If it reads both that it reads MPH. Does it say anywhere that it must read MPH only? I am in Canada and have recently bought 940 that originated in US. It has MPH (larger) and KPH scales.

void _-void-_ in the obvious place

Thanks, I guess I will need to visit the Volvo graveyard in Guelph Ontario to get a replacement and swap it out.

Mine only read Metric, it may just be a rule in New York

For whatever reason, Volvo metric speedometers only have metric on them. The MPH speedometers have both, so you'll probably have to visit a salvage yard in the US to find a MPH speedo.

Starting in '86 Volvo switched to an electronic speedometer. It's possible to multiply the pulses from the speed sensor I suppose.
