Autometer too high...need gauge advice.
I gotta 91 RS with a 3.1 V6 so I got the all electric cluster. I was looking at some Equus gauges cause they are priced ok. Thier fuel gauge uses the 0-90 ohms so I can use my factory sending unit with that. The voltmeter is no concern. The oil pressure gauge, I will probably have to use thier sender and get an adapter to fit my factory threads. The tach seems that it might be ok to install with no worries. The speedo is a different matter since thay don't make an electrical one...only mechanical. The temp. gauge should'nt be that bad and I will prob have to use thier sender as well. Any advice on the speedo? I was kinda wanting to keep all the gauges the same from the same manufacturer. I am working with an extra cluster, so I can gut this one and use the face as a template for the new gauges.

It would be very easy to convert to cable, but I'm not sure if your FI and/or torque converter lockup will work right without the VSS. Maybe adapt a cable-driven VSS like they used on the back of pre-90 Camaro clusters?
