Auto Meter 1288 American Muscle Series 160 MPH

AutoMeter 1288 American Muscle Series 160 MPH Electric Speedometer

The AutoMeter 1288 American Muscle Series Electric Speedometer combines classic muscle car aesthetics with modern, track-proven digital accuracy. Designed to upgrade standard factory dashboards or fit cleanly into custom cluster layouts, this full-size instrument tracks vehicle speed up to 160 MPH. It features a unique retro-themed layout, blending a spun aluminum silver face with a vintage white dial, bold black numbering, and a traditional fluorescent orange pointer.

Beneath its vintage muscle-car exterior, this speedometer relies on an advanced electric microprocessor-controlled digital stepper motor mechanism. This system eliminates the erratic needle bounce, cable noise, and calibration lag common to old-school mechanical speedometers. It features an integrated digital LCD odometer with two resettable trip meters and uses a simple, one-button calibration process that allows you to accurately tune the speedometer to your vehicle’s specific rear-end gear ratio and tire size.

Key Features:

• Microprocessor-Controlled Accuracy: Utilizes high-precision internal electric stepper motors that provide perfectly smooth needle tracking with zero lag during rapid acceleration.

• Signature White LED Lighting: Equipped with clean, high-definition through-the-dial white LED backlighting for excellent legibility and a sharp appearance during nighttime cruising.

• Simple Push-Button Calibration: Easy one-button programming allows you to re-calibrate the unit over a measured 2-mile distance whenever you change tire profiles or differential gears.

• Universal Sensor Synchronization: Works seamlessly with standard factory electronic vehicle speed sensors (VSS) or aftermarket GPS and mechanical-to-electric transmission senders.

• Dual-Line LCD Screen: Features an integrated digital display that continuously tracks total vehicle odometer mileage along with independent, resettable Trip A and Trip B readouts.
