Just curious does your 150 speedo have the numbers 10 20 30 40 etc or 1 2 3 4? if it is the 10 20 30 40 etc style it would have came out of an early production 68 Coronet R/T or GTX, the 1 2 3 4 etc was late production 68 thru 69 Coronet R/T & GTX. Chrysler made the change due to the 10 20 30 40 style was way too crowded and confusing to see.

I installed the early production 150 mph speedo in my 69 RR, wish I had the later single digit one. Your information is correct, I'm sure you know. Right out of the B-body restoration book.

Yes it is an early 68, and looks great, try driving down freeway with a friend in another vehicle ,having him drive 55 and you pace beside him for a stretch and see if yours is showing 55, if so (If it were mine) I would leave it alone, but it is up to you.
