Will a 140 MPH speedo from an 89 plug and work in a 87 GT?

QWKSNKE · 08-04-2007, 07:49 PM

yes it should

ncontt · 08-06-2007, 01:40 PM

The new ones won't work once they went to airbags....AFAIK

yeah, he was referring to the 140 speedos in the 89 cars

87 threw early 91 (none air bag) will be a plug and play, You can use a air bag one but you have to swap wires in the connetor.

I bought a 140 cluster from alabama mustang about 3 or 4 years ago,they SAID it was from an 89,turned out it was from a 92!,sooo,it would'nt fit in the dash right,and I ended up taking all the internals and swapping them,the little alignment posts on the housing did not match the line up holes on the gauges,sooo,about 3 hours of modification soon followed!
