what is wrong with these gauges?
Saw this on ebay. Seller says "Rare" gauge cluster from '84 TA with H.O. motor. 8000 RPM tach, 80 psi oil gauge. However the speedometer and temp/fuel gauge has white needles vs. orange. Also odometer has a 6 digit readout with 10ths vs the 5 digit readout after '82. That doesn't seem right.

It is either:
1982 gage cluster that someone swapped in L69 5.0L HO tachometer and volt/oil gage into.
or
1983 L69 5.0L HO gage cluster that someone swapped in 1982 speedometer and gas/temp gage into.
In either case, they were too stupid to swap needles so everything matched!
Whatever it is, its definately not an '84 cluster because of the obvious green-blue backlit.
