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...

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??

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

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

Remember the question about kilo speedos in Canadian cars?

Here's a guy in the Detroit area that has a 200 MPH?? KPH?? speedo for an early Chevelle.

200 MPH?? KPH?? Speedo

I saw lots of 200?? speedos at the Detroit area swap meets that sort of fell onto someones lunch box. I was sure it wasn't Alzheimers.

It was quite common for stray parts to fall into lunch pails and pockets too. It can sometimes be pretty obvious, at the local flea markets, that the stuff must have been falling like snow into certain pails and pockets.

The kilo speedos were only for export to europe from what I understand.
We were all MPH till mid 70's here in Canada,road signs,speedos all mph.
