That's where I bought mine, but that was several years ago.

Re: temp gauge

Is your instrument cluster identical to the '85 model? Or at least the gauge? I think I still have an old '85 cluster.

Let me know.

Re: temp gauge

I was out of town when I posted that. I'm back now so I'll look in my garage where I have the cluster and see if it matches.
I'll let you know.

If you can’t find a replacement you can get yours rebuilt.
(we name namesssss)

Let us know.

Also we know of a place that has a close fit, only a minor dash modification will be necessary.



Happy Racing!

Fog lights are not driving lights. Keep em turned off slow pokes.

How bout those dorks too scared to drive without headlights or in the daytime!

Re: temp gauge

AKATDOG, I looked for the instrument cluster but it's gone, sorry. Somebody must have grabbed it during the last parts swap we had.
I'll keep looking, though.
