Re: inst. cluster (for real this time)

It will work, but the speedo will be wrong, in my experience. I have a 16v
cluster in my '86 8v, and it WORKS, but the speedo is way wrong. Somebody said
something about changing the speedo gear... whoever said that, say it again
please? Does it apply to 16v conversions, too, or just FN vs. 2H, etc...
If you need one, I have an 8v cluster for sale...
