Default My speedo only goes to 85mph, wut can I do? Plus another guage question.
The 88' I am buying has a speedo that only goes to 85mph. Do they still use a mechanical speedo? Or does it use a speed sensor? I was thinking about getting an after market speedo. Plus anyone know if the fuel tank sender is a standard 0-90ohm sensor? Was thinking about all aftermarket gauges, speedo and fuel level I was unsure about.

Its a mechanical speedo, I believe the fuel send is std ohms but I am not sure on that one.

the speedometer is mechanical and you need to get a 140mph speedometer out of a 89 mustang.
