KPH speedo's
 

Had a short discussion over the weekend with some friends. I am aware of the "KPH" speedo's existing for 1969 Camaro's. Was there ever a real application for these speedo's in Canadian Vehicles, COPO Camaro's, Camaro's, and possibly other and or all other Chevrolet vehicles and if so, what was the year this began? Thanx! https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/beers.gif

If you look at the face of a speedo out of the dash you will find part the # for MPH and KPH stamped near the edge of the face. Quite a few kilo speedo's used to turn up at the Detroit area swap meets. There were always 200 (and up) kph 57-58-59 Chevy speedos there 20 yrs ago. There were probably Kilo speedos in all Canadaian cars.

European Exported and Antwerp Camaros/Chevys got the KPH speedos as well

No KPH Speedo's in 67, 68, 69 Camaros that came to Canada, and never seen one for sale.

I am understanding the point you offer; I am considering the COPO Camaro's built in Canada-for example; and in the event GM did use the "KPH", at what year was this procees started? I was looking at a KPH from another Chevy from 1969-1970 and I had never seen one in this configuration, thus my inquiry here to establish the pattern... https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/beers.gif

Canada did not start putting KPH in vehicles till around 1976. And after that for a few years they came with both MPH and KPH on the speedo. So no 1969 Camaro or otherwise would have that KPHspeedo in it.

Ok, if this is the actual procedure at THAT time, why do we see occasionally the KPH 69 speedo's for the Camaro that has been doc'd?? https://www.yenko.net/ubbthreads/imag...lins/beers.gif

Re: KPH speedo's
 

Camaros weren't being built in Canada until quite a few years later. Never saw a kph speedo here in those days.

I have a 77 thru 79 Nova tach dash with the KPH speedo.

Pete's correct...no KPH stuff in Canada until '76 or '77.
