The double pointer speedo was used on all Camaros from 1982 thru 1984. If you're inquiring about your '85, it originally came with an 85-mph single pointer speedo, the only one used in 1985.

Correct!

The 1982 used a different font than '83-'84. Also, the 1982 speedo was six digits I believe. The '83-'84 clusters were identical. Pictured is a 1982 tach. Is this your font? If not, yours is an '83-'84.
