140mph speedo swap...
 
Please correct me if I am wrong.

I thought I could just take a 140mph speedo out from a 89-93 and install it onto my existing backing plate, then slap a white face on it?

I asked someone else and they said I had to change the whole cluster?

Help!

I think it is a direct swap because that's what I want to do. They sell aftermarket speedos in a '79-93 catagory range so I am thinking they are all the same through those years.

I think theres a difference yours should go 180 or 190 kms
per hour mine goes to 230kms
im not sure that the numbers are all in the same place and just go further down or not you can look at mine to see if you want but I dont think its as easy as just changing the face.

88cobra, I just saw a 180mph in a BBK catalog selling for about $70.
Go to brothersperformance.com and you get see them online and also order a free catalog lke I did.
I have a 170mph speedo in my '82GT and it was a direct replacement....simple!
