1983-84 cars have cable-driven speedos, yes. In 1984 there is also a VSS that sends speed information to the EEC-IV computer. That is the only electrical part of the speedo, and only for 1984; it does not affect how the gauge reads. You could technically use a Mustang speedo/cluster in your car. It would have to be a 1979-89 cluster (for use with a round steering column; from 1990-93 the columns were square to allow for the airbag). Not sure of the fit...thinking it will be way too large for your dash.
