Depends, I am sure someone in the forums here has a fix for this. if you were hard up, I am sure you can pull the whole speedo gear and cable from the 85 and put it in the 86. As for the wireing I am not really sure how it would be diffrent other than the electric speedometer. but then again I don't know the wireing diagrams for the firebirds either.


Cheers!!!
