I do.  Speedo is speed modded (will display to 199), odo reads 187k or something.  I can tell you how to swap the odometer chip, but it takes some balls.

Do you know if I can take just the water gauge out of it?.  My Speedo is fine but my temp gauge doesn't work properly.

No, not for sure,  it appears to start to work as I run the engine, but only goes about 1/3 the way.  I tap on the plastic and it moves a little higher but just doesn't seem to get to the normal range.    If not the gauge any ideas.  Is there a way to test the gauge itself?  I suppose after all this time the thermostat could be out and its just not heating up properly.
