gauge cluster options Reply #1 – January 17, 2009, 10:19:00 PM well they make the 5.0 cluster thats like the turbo coupe one without the boost gauge. Or the full digital one.http://www.coolcats.net/tech/general is a link to where you can click to see the few different clusters availible. Quote Selected
gauge cluster options Reply #2 – January 17, 2009, 11:09:18 PM That only applies to 85-88 models. The 83-84 is different. An 84 turbo cluster would work, but the tach would be off. I dunno if the older 4-cyl tachs can be modified to work with the V8 Quote Selected

gauge cluster options Reply #5 – January 18, 2009, 01:11:09 AM joker77_2005,Check in the body/appearance/interior forum, there are lots of examples there of people doing their own setup. There was an 83/84 on evilbay that had gauges all the way across the dash. A little much for me, but maybe he was a control freak. Or worked at Autometer. Just think of your dash as a blank canvas and cut loose. Then come back with plenty of pics. Quote Selected

The '85-'88s defiantly do not have a switch... The '87-'88 tach is fairly easily modified for 6 or 8 oper, however the '85-'86 is not.. Quote Selected
