yea, change your cable, its pretty easy, if its that then your lucky... but pretty good chance your gauge is at fault..... if thats the case i got a stock gauge cluster outa a 88 you could have for close to nothing

thanks for the offer on the 88 cluster but I NEED the 140 speedometer. I will probably end up gettin a 200mph cluster so I know when i'm above 140
