Hey, Coty, welcome to TGO. As most questions have been asked and answered many times, a search on site is generally a good idea. In answer to your question, 82-89 Camaros have cable-driven speedo heads. Choose the one of your choice--85, 115, or 145--and swap it in. You may find the following interesting and/or helpful:
