Hello Everyone,

I need a bit of assistance from you folks. We just found a 1984 gauge cluster with a 140 speedo and a 6k tach (Ford Part Number E4ZF-10C956-AA). Now the only 1984 gauge clusters with a 140 speedo we've seen in the past were from SSP models which are marked with the 'certified calibration' stamp. This one does not have that marking. As such I presume this is a standard 85 mph gauge cluster that someone has modified with a speedo from a later model (1987+).

Would you agree or were there other variants I'm not aware of? If this is the case, is there anything I need to be concerned with in using this cluster? Finally, how do I take this gauge cluster apart to put in a set of white gauge faces, repaint the needles back to bright orange, and reattach the trip odometer reset arm as it's loose? Thanks.

 

They changed the speedo from 85-140 top speed in a certain year, I believe 1990??? I am not positive on that. It might not fit the dash of an '84.

 

Turns out thats a Motorsport Speedo offered during the 80's.

 

yeah, mid model year in 1989 as far as I know....

 

My 89 was an April build and still had the 85mph speedo. Probably changed later that week with my luck. Oh well, its always fun emptying my wallet because Ford was too late.

 

Here is an anomaly, my 87 GT vert, I bought it brand new off the truck in November 1986.. It has LX tail lights, a 160 Speedo, states certified calibration and had the blue hoses until I changed them a long time ago before I knew what the heck they were and an oil cooler...

 

You may have gotten a car built on a "good" Friday? The factory workers probably decided to throw on some extra goodies/sitting parts before the weekend. Just kidding! Wish I found a non-SSP car with those parts already on it from the factory.

 

Must have run out of regular parts . Thats lucky.

 

My 89 GT was built in april 09 and has a 140 mph speedo

 

Told you that'd be myluck mine was built the first few days. I wish it was here but it's getting the body work done. So I can't check the door stickers which are going right back on.
