Re: gauge swap

The cluster housings (and dash structure) are shaped differently, so no I don't think they will fit.

Re: gauge swap

You do not want the 90-92 cluster, the tach is known for almost always being dead.

Re: gauge swap

Aside from cluster shape and the issue inherent in that, the 89 speedo head is cable driven, the 90+ electric.
