Those are hard to find nowadays... the last 140mph speedometer I saw on ebay went for over $400.  With a cluster, in working conditions maybe more?  Good find!

There is a ridiculously small image file size restriction, I used to upload at 320x240 pixles and would sometimeshiznit the overlimit.

Upload to photo bucket and post the [img] link.

I honestly dont think you could exceed the cost of a new car buy installing new *stock* parts everywhere in your coug our tbird. Its just plain impossible. You could revamp the entire drivetrain/engine/suspenstion and still come out ahead.

Get a photobucket account or if you have Facebook you can copy the link from there and just copy/paste.

That being said,  I'll give you 3 Snickers bars, a 16 oz red Powerade, and some lint from the right cargo pocket on my favorite pair of shorts.

Is it hard to convert the dash? How much do you think it would cost to do it by a mechanic? X

Just to clarify: you now have a digital dash and you want to convert to buttstuffog?

Nice,  I had found mine in the junkyard of all places. I was stunned when I seen it.
Pulled it off the car and only paid 40 for the whole instrument panel

I haven't had a chance to test it yet do you know if it reads accurately without doing anything to it

Speedo calibration for 140 same as the 85 mph unit... The tach from a turbo coupe requires one resistor be replaced or will read 2x used on v8...

I bought two different clusters at $20ea to get my 140mph and a '88 Sport tach... Used it to reverse engineer the TC tachs so they will read correctly if used with V8... Instructions are on coolcats...

Verifying against a GPS, mine was within 1 to 2 mph up to ≥85 (progressively optimistic, and dead-on at 35)
