Guage identification

Hello all,

I have a quick question reguarding 4th gen guages. How does one tell the difference between the V6 and V8 guages from looking at them?

I am looking at install the updated gauges/etc into my 88 TA and want to make sure I buy the correct package (the place that has the guages for sale does not have them marked)

thanks,
Tim

Probably by the speedo and tach, the V8 cars will have a higher speedo, a T/A speedo will have a 150mph for example. Not certain about this, but since in our cars the v6's have the 8k tach, adn teh v8's have a 6k tach, id assume that the 4th v6's would have a higher tach

If the clusters are like the 3rd gens then the Oil gauge shoud be 80 psi for a v6 and 60 for a v8.
