km to mi dasn conversion. Need help.
What's up, guys! I just picked up a 1991 GTA. The car is originally from Canada and comes with a km dash. I want to swamp it out for a mi dash, which will also update the temp gauges. What is the process for this? I've spent an hour searching around with no luck.

Remove the entire metric cluster. Install a US cluster. Fin.
Wouldn't expect any of the senders to be different, but I'm not going to dig in the parts book to check.

I don't see why not. It already points to the correct mph, it's just in smaller numbers and km/h is in larger numbers so I would think it would be a straight swap.

It is. I've done this myself. Just swap the entire cluster to an mph version and thats it. Just make sure the cluster is from a V8 and has the same tach as you have or you have to swap in your tach from your cluster to the new one. V6 cars have a different tach and a different oil pressure gage. The rest is fully interchageable, but the speedo on V6 cars is just a 120 mph version, but it works.
