New gauge cluster

dr.gonzo! · January 16th, 2008, 03:48 PM

The speedo gauge I have now goes to 140mph but I believe the stock one only went to 85mph so after changing the speedo gear in the trans the speed was still about double off. I noticed 50resto has one for $70 but I dont know if that will fix the problem or do I have to frekin buy the $200 one? Say I dont need a 140mph, anyone know where I can find a new old stock one?

what year is your car......alot of the stangs came with a 140 mph speedo stock.....not sure on the exact years

Its an 88' I know this car did not come with 140 mph gauges by comparing where the needle would be at on an 85 mph gauge. unless I really am cruising around 125 mph every day

yeah i'd really like to dump my 85mph speedo...do you need to change speedo gear if you swap out the 85mph unit for the 140mph one?

The spedo cluster is already calibrated, you should only have to change the spedo gear when you go with a diffrent rear end gear. And dont just put a 140 mph insert over your old one lol

yeah well when i do my 4:10's i'd have too..but to swap clusters out i dont need to do anything besides swap out the whole unit?

no the problem is your 70 dollar one is NOT CALIBRATED.You need to buy a speedo calibrator.

50resto did not have one for our year of car if you find one for an 88-89 please let me know!

And for under $110

Just watch who you buy from, if its broke you cant just call up a 1-800 number

Speedstang302 · January 16th, 2008, 09:16 PM

i'll check it before i buy it...i just hate being on the highway and pinging way past the 85mph mark in mid 4th gear...
