switching from 85 to 140 speed
All after market tach's aka moster tach either have2 loops of wires hanging out instructions tell you by default it is set for 8cyl, cut 1 of them for 6 cyl, and both for 4cyl. My monster Tach is set electronically, To cahnge it to to either 4,6,8, or 10 I have to hold a button on it while turning the key on and then hit the button til the tach reads the number of cyl I have, just do a search on the internet for instructions, I had a cheaper tach from autozone it had a switch on the front for 4, 6, or 8 </P>

Trust me all, You need the speedo head only, After you take the cover off the cluster it seperates into 4 sections, volt&temp, tach, speedo,fuel&oil just change the speedo section, I have done this myself, and I am a ASE certifed mechanic,been working on fords for 18years,and I have owed over 25 79 and newer mustangs, i have made just about every combination and know what works, also about the speedo, it will be accurate, if it is off, it was off before or you got a bad speedo, because if you put wrong size tires or differnt gears you are not off by 3to5 miles you would be off by a % therfore faster you go the more you are off. But a speedo is a speedo.

fyi turns out i probly have a stock head and intake so thats something i can swap for some decent power also...and cam...and i need a header...know where i can get one? im not sure how big the turbine wheel is (i think they can be 48mm or 60mm right?) and i think that effects what size flange on the header ill need so i gotta find that out also.</P>
