160mph 8k tach gauge types



Guess I should have been a bit more specific, I was agreeing to the fact
that the 88' year cluster doesn't have the upshift indicator.  I didn't mean
for it to get confused with the 160kph part.  However, not just any printed
circuit will work since the water temp is up where the upshift indicator
would normally be, so the printed circuit is different to accomodate the
re-location of the water temp gauge.  I've checked e-bay a few times and all
I ever seem to find is the cluster with upshift which won't work.

Sorry if I cinfuzed things a bit for ya, hope that helps to get things
straight.
