I need to replace my speedometer for my 88 240.  I am already aware
that this is an electronic unit.  I have confirmed that the sending
unit is intact and functioning.  My questions is how to I determine
that I have the right speedo unit.  I have seen some with an identifier
number K###### and some that are plain.  Do I match the numbers??? or
what?

a few years ago, I had to replace the speedometer in my '89 240... found a
similar unit at the junk yard, I think they charged me about $10... the K
number was different, but it fit perfectly, and the reading is correct, as
determined by a handheld GPS. Maybe I just got lucky, but I didn't see any
difference caused by the K number difference.....

The electronic units have the ratio as K###### the mechanical units were
identified by r=XXX. To be accurate the ratio number shouldbe the same.
