Re: Speedometer Question
No. Your speedo should be cable-driven. Make sure the new head is also. The later years were electronic.

Re: Speedometer Question
Camaro was all cable driven through 1989 (Firebird I think changed to electric in 1986,except base cluster through '88)

Re: Speedometer Question
I'll leave the Quad Cab where it's at until I fully give it to my son after he graduates HS this May. I'll just list my 3rd Gen in my Sig.

Re: Speedometer Question
Use your original cluster and install the 145 Speedo head into it.
The Camaro Speedo cluster ( more accurately; it's printed circuit ) was compatible from 82-85,... then 86-89. If you install an 86 + Cluster in your 85 it will cause a minor conflict with the E-Brake light and a back-light bulb or 2.
** No need to swap Speedo gears when swapping clusters.
