I'm sure it'll just be a direct swap if the gauge cluster is in the same configuration. This is gonna sound bad but with mine I want to switch my 85mph to a 140mph and I know it'll be a direct swap.

good thing he blocked you or else you would be screwed. you have a 91 rs right? if so then you have an electronic driven speedo, so the 85 one would not have worked without adjustments. You need to find a 145 from a 91-92 Z-28.

Shoulda come to me first.

I put a new 145MPH electronic speedo cluster into my '90 RS with 305 TBI. I just bought a 145MPH 90-92 Speedo form E-bay, easy to tell, no other speedometer cluster looks like it., and just bolted it where the other one was. I also bought a new guage lens cover so it would look brand new, and cleaned off the new one when I got it. Too bad I will eventually be selling it, going to do a 4th gen interior swap.

Check the classifieds on this website's home page. If you can't find one here or on ebay, you'll just have to make the rounds at the local boneyards.
