145 mph gauges
Yeah, so today I got my gauges in the mail today. I bought them from my82roc, great seller btw... So anyways, I installed them in about an hour and a half, and man they look real nice. I will try and get pics of them tomorrow, I ran into a problem after I installed them however... I didn't check to see if the bulbs worked so I was missing like half the lighting, haha, so I had to take out and reinstall for a second time. No biggy, I took the bulbs off my old cluster. I just ordered the white glow gauges so those should look pretty nice.

Re: 145 mph gauges
Ok? Post up some pics. Did you originally have a cluster with a lower MPH Reading? If so, did it have to be recalibrated?

Re: 145 mph gauges
Usually that is the case, so yeah it would have to be relocated. Unless it came factory, but I'm almost sure they only went to 85 but i could be wrong.

Re: 145 mph gauges
I originally had a cluster that read 110, that had 72,000 miles on it. I got a 145 mph cluster with 83000, and no i didnt have to recalibrate anything, its all electronic. Here is the new cluster.

About as straightforward as the word "straightforward". Lol, no complications at all.

Re: 145 mph gauges
Be wary of the glow gauges. I had a set and it was a nightmare. They just kind of float over the needle, there is nothing to keep them securely fastened to the panel. Mine flopped around, I used some emblem tape but then they didn't sit flush. Ended up taking them off.

Re: 145 mph gauges

Re: 145 mph gauges
I dont know the exact year but any 90-92 145 cluster will work. Anything 82-89 will not because those years are cable driven. The 90-92 are electronic. Much better

Re: 145 mph gauges
Can you give tech details on changing the odometer out? I want to swap but have not found the 145 cluster yet. You are right tho, swaping is so easy. Thanks.
