hey fellow pony friends! i want to change my 1988 85mph black cluster for a white face 140 cluster but nobody seems to have them. Can anyone guide me to where i might find one. if im lucky someone has one they want to get rid of. I got screwed bought a 140 from someone on craiglist and bought the white inlays but the cluster was broken:smash:. any info would be greatly appreciated. thank you. preferebly new but a good working used is a winner too.

As far as I know all the 89=93 mustang gagues were 140 and black. I think the white overlay is the only way to get it that way.

What didn't work on the cluster you bought?

...I purchased a 1989 140 mph speedo at one time & made it work with my '88 GT....Most times you can only buy the overlays!

Try Mustangs Unlimited or CJ Pony Parts....

I know that an 89 140 speedo will work on an 87 or 88 mustang. I use an 89 for my 87 and it pluged right in. I didn't have to do anything special to make it work.

Clusters from from 87-89 are rectangular but the ones from 90-93 are rounded at the bottom for the airbag column. I might be missing what your asking though...

You're correct Jeff....I had to use the backing plate from the '88 and mount the '89 speedo to it to get it in the car correctly...pretty simple to do! :awesomework:

Every time I "use" to order from them, at LEAST one part was sent incorrect or defective and I would have to send back out of my own pocket! ...It just got to the point with me were enough is enough!

Happy to see that others might have had better luck....

When i bought my car it had a 4 cyl cluster in it. But the guy gave me another 140mph cluster that had whiteface guages. I think they just bought the faces off of the internet and pieced it together. Let me tell you the face plates look like crap. From outside looking in they look stock and good however in the car you notice how cheapo they are. Not sure on the brand. Just bought another cluster today from my local junkyard, came out of an 1990 black face with 140mph speedo, my next cluster is going to be a florida5o setup. I iused to just piece cluster together, but now my guages really arent accurate. I must not be putting the needle back on in the same spot i take it off.
