ok, i have searched and searched to no avail. i have an 84 TA with 85mph gage. if i can find one from a similar year with the higher mph gage at the yard can i swap the two. whether just the gage or the whole cluster.

if not what other options are there.

thanks

 

youll have to get one from 82-84 bceause i believe that in 85 they changed to the newer style guages and they were all electronic, yours should be cable driven

 

check out this thread I started awhile back.

It might be what you are looking for.

huh, thats all good and well but i was figurin i could find one at the junkyard a lot cheaper then 133 bucks if i could just swap it out. but uh ya, in'n i have to go that route eventually i guess i will but thats a pretty steep price imo. thanks for info.

 

That's the problem with these early 3rd gen firebirds, none were ever offered with anything more than the 85 MPH speedo that was cable driven.

You can always go the 86-newer swap to electric and get the 140 MPH, but that is alittle more involved,(but possible).
It just wasn't the route I wanted to take. My car still has the correct vintage look to the interior, but with an updated speedo face

Good Luck in your search,

Leon.

 

sounds like i will probably have to go the route you went too then at some point. maybe pick up a spare 85 from the yard to throw in while mine is away for two weeks. thanks
