propper speedo cluster!???

just bought my car and the speedo seems to be off just by a little margine... did the 305 TPI 88 trans am gta originally come with the 140 MPH cluster or the 120. i think the previous owner might have switched it. anyway just let me know thanks in advance.

My 88 HAD the 305, but i believe it was carb. Anywho its got the 140mph in it. Come to think of it I've got an extra cluster around here somewhere...

I changed.. Engine, tranny, driveshaft, and the rear end is a 1989 GTA, to convert to 4 wheel discs

Still got the cable driven speedo.. still pretty accurate

My engine is modded to all she will hold pretty much, and tranny has a stage 2 shift kit
