If both cars are thirdgen and have electric speedos, I assume it's plug and play.

I think the gauge was mechanical until ~90-91. I'm not certain if it's a direct plug&play or not.

i think the cluster was electronical since 87- for birds anyway, and if your going from a 85 mph cluster i dont think it will read right because the car will still believe there is an 85mph in there...
