Default Replace Cluster?



I have an 88 GT with the speedomoter that goes up to 85, a fraction of its potential <IMG src=smileys/smiley2.gif border="0">and was wondering how hard it was to install and calibrate for a new cluster. I cant imagine putting the actual cluster in would be too hard, just the calibrating... </P>


Thanks for the input in advance</P>

I don't know if you add a 140MPH speedo if you have to change the speedometer gear in the tranny or if the aftermarket speedo compensates for it or not.

I had a '79 Ford productwith the 85 mph speedo and the "peg" for top end was way into the black. It was just the guts of the older design missing the numbers. Could be the higher speedo just has more numbers and a different "peg"? </P>
