That's what people call a "gauge cluster." Pronounced "GAJH-uh kluss-TER."

Anything else I can help you with?

Axle/Gears: Yup -- they still work
yup

Pieces like this were used in the earliest f-bodies (82,83). My buddy had an Indy 500 '82 Pacer that had this -- with KMHs and MPHs switched of course.

Yup...my friend had the "double" needle on his '84. It was a 2.8L so he didn't have a tach on the other side...instead it was a GIANT fuel gauge in it's place.

Looks like my double needle gauge cluster, except my speedo doesn't go that high. Up to 140 km I think.

Ahhh...I gotcha! I was thinking this before but didn't mention it...I'm pretty sure that it's been altered, I say this cause the font for the numbers doesn't seem correct. Is it me or am I right here?

Perhaps it's an Aussie gauge or something?!? I'm going out on a limb here.

It's ugly. :sillylol:

Seriously, that speedo looks like one screwed up altimeter. That'd be one hell of a bank.
