140 speedo for 85TA
Is there a mechanical 140 speedo available for an 85 TA? All I can find is electric.

85 I believe is a mechanical (cable driven) and 86 - 92 are electric... for firebirds iwth the gauge package.

That makes sence. You can use the camaro spedo in a TA can't you? If so, wouldn't an aftermarket gauge background work well/look good?
