IF you're not opposed to spending lots of money, the Dakota Digital gauges have a speedo that goes to 160 with a choice of font colors and lighting colors too. I really like mine. The digital readouts have many useful functions too. Check them out.

Re: Need 145 Speedo 89 camaro 5.7

You will either need to build out a kit, or get one from Hawks: 1982-89 Camaro Hawks Restoration Series Instrument Cluster - Hawks Third Generation (hawksmotorsports.com)

Dakota also released a cluster, around the same price: 1982- 89 Chevy Camaro VHX Instruments (dakotadigital.com)

Edit: two different used ones posted today, perhaps this has the part you broke: https://www.thirdgen.org/forums/inte...o-cluster.html
Or a complete one Oklahoma 82-89 Camaro Gauge Cluster w/145 MPH Speedo - Third Generation F-Body Message Boards

Haven’t checked the board in awhile. Thanks for the resources. Still want a speedo original. Hawks is pretty and money isn’t a problem but I’d like to have an original.
