Hey, I need help quick!

Hey, I was looking for new guages for my 86 z28, becuase I want a higher speedometer. My car has about 77,3xx miles on it. So I found one on ebay for 84-89 with the 145 speedo, and 80,704 on the odometer. What would I need to do to replace the guages? Could I just plug in the new ones since its made for my year? THanks for all your help. Heres a link.

From what I've heard about the swap, yes, you just swap it out and reconnect everything

thanks for the help, but I think I am going to wait around for one with closer mileage to mine. and, how could I get some type of proof of replaceing it at the right mileage? thanks again.

I really don't think there was anything to laugh at. He said he was going to wait to find one that was closer to his current mileage. My Husband had to do a swap on his dash for his Nissan and he had to estimate how many miles there would be on it when they got the dash in. So he estimated and when he got it he had to save it for a few days before he had the right mileage on there. I thought it would be just as good for him. ::shrugs:: But ok, whatever makes you laugh.
