Vette(s): 1975 Stingray Nomad Wagon, with Daytona front, custom hood scoop, dual side vents; 420HP 350; Doug Nash 5 speed; 1980 rear end W/4:11 gears; Cherry Red metallic paint.
Ok, ok, i am fully expecting to get harrassed about this. We all know that our Vettes are "Ticket Targets", and being a truck driver for a living, i carefully gaurd my driving record, so tease away. But, serious I am keeping my '74 as a daily driver, but it is presenting me with one problem. The local speed limit is 70, and its a very very light touch and short time between 70 and 85 (ticket trouble). Just a short distraction and its over.
What i am looking for: is there any way that i can not limit my Revs (still want lower gear fun), but can limit my upper speed to say 75? a warning light, beep or something that can help? |headscratch| thanks!

Just install a rev limiter, but also install a bypass with a relay and toggle switch to turn it on, or bypass the limiter. Switch it on when you are crusing.
