Swap mechanical speedo into electric cluster?

[Optimaldave]

Hi all.

 

I have an 88 with the guages but no tach, and I have a line on a 93 cluster with all options. I know the 93 will have an electric speedo but is there a way to swap just the speedo's out or to convert from a mechanical drive speedo in the trans(2wd) to an electric output?

 

Cheers

Dave

I know the speedo can be swapped easly. I'm unsure however if the rest of the cluster operates differently from the Renix era clusters :dunno:

The clusters are NOT compatible.

yup, completely different wiring routing and gauge resistances. :thumbsup:

Right, I just realized I was thinking of this backwards to how I'd do it as I would be using the new cluster and old speedo vs the old cluster and new speedo... Thus it was a stupid question as I knew the new cluster would not work in general... :wall:

 

So never mind all

 

Thank you

I have the 88 with what I believe is the cluster from a 90 with tach.

yes, but 1990 and before were the same cluster save for how the speedo cable attaches. The 93 donor I have though has a very different cluster that doesn't work in most ways vs just the speedo hookup.
