I'm thinking about buying a 160mph cluster from this parts store. The cluster came from a police mustang. What year I don't know. I wanted to put it in my 88 lx. The only thing that knew about the cluster is that it came from a police car and that it was a mass air car. Will it work in my 88 lx?

any one?

the fact thats its a mass air flow shouldnt matter, but you will have to calibrate your speedo for 160, so it will read the proper mph, your speedo reads 85, and if you jump to 160 your speed will be way off

I that's one thing that I didn't think about. I guess that My 23 tooth speedo gear needs to be changed out. i just didn't want to pass up a gauge cluster that read 160 mph. It cost me 110. shipped.

cant beat that with a stick the one i got for my car is cobra white face gauges, 140mph speedo, but i bought it from 50resto and it comes already calibrated to put right in but it
cost me 210

What do you mean by recalibrate? The one that I bought was calibrated at the factory, ford. So what would I have do now?

im not sure exactly how its done like i said i bought mine with everything on it ready to put in, it aint been delivered yet so im not sure what it takes to do everything, all i know is your car is set up to read 85 not 160

think your car will ever hit 160mph?????????.....j/p that's a pretty good deal though.

youre not going to see 160 if you do it will probably take a while. but yes youll need it calibrated to work with yoru car
