Title: 86 MPH and faster?
Post by: Beau on March 18, 2005, 06:50:57 PM
Awhile back, there was thread on modding the speedo to read faster than 85, but now I can't find it through the search button, what gives?
I was wantin' to read up on it, as I may try it, seeing that I have an extra cluster now  :mad:

I think the original thread was on the old board.

And here it is:

That reminds me.. finally found all my soldering supplies the other day.. I'll be performing that little mod twice, soon.

well, till I find me a 302HO, and AOD to swap in, or else a parts car (Mustang) to get it all from, mine wont see much over 70 anyways!
( Ford for not makin' these with optional 5.0HO!)

Just because Henry Ford didn't, doesn't mean you shouldn't!

70 mph should just be a inconvenience in 3rd gear somewhere.
