no man, I just got one on ebay last week for not much less than what you're asking, wish I'd waited a weeks or so...rather help a board member out than a 'yard. Ah well, sorry man.
I paid about 42 bucks for the cluster, and the column cover...

Read it again, it is $50 shipped!:D No it is electric driven so the speedo cable wont work. I think you have to replace the the gear with speedo sensor for it to work. I will look on UncoolCats to see how to make it work in our speedo cable cars.

James

p.s. You do the same as well.

I found out that 85-88 cars do not use a speedo cable only the 83-84 cars do BUT all of them have a vehicle speed sensor VSS. The only difference is that 83 and 84 models the speedometer cable goes through the VSS. The others just uss the VSS and no cable since the sensor gives the signal to the ECM and then gives the signal to the speedometer which works by using a little motor that is built into the speedometer itself. So to answer your question you can use this but you have to rewire a little. Look on coolcats or ask Eric and he can point you in the right direction. Oh and one more thing, you have to change your dash so any of the 85-88 clusters to work!

Really? I usually see the Turbo Coupe ones and not the V8 ones. Well I'am asking $50 shipped. If you guys can find it cheaper, more power to ya!:)

I can post pics if you want.
