I was removing my gauges, tracing a short, and when I pryed the needle off of the speedometer, I broke the pin coming out of the odometer, where the needle connects to. I need to get a new odometer assembly, and I've searched E-BAY and found few. My question, is there any difference on that assembly from a 85, 110, or 145 MPH speedo? I have a 145 MPH, and I "assume" that only the face of the gauge is different. Does anyone know if this is true? Thanks in advance for any info you can give me.

A 110 and a 145 are about the same. Only difference with the 110's and 145's the 110's have speed governors on them. I have a cluster guage out of a 92 RS Auto - v-8 for sale on ebay for 45.00 everything in it works fine.

im not entirely sure, but seeing as distance traveled is a result of time and speed. and your speedometer measures speed. therefore the gearing in the 145 is probly different from the other two. but im not entirely sure.

if its electronic it shouldnt make a difference. and 85's are only cable driven up to 88 i think. if its the same basic shape and all it should just bolt in.

if the thing is electronic then it sends a signal that tells the needle how far to move... so if say you put a 110 speedo on ur 145, then when u hit 145 the speedo would only be at 110. but that would be an awesome excuse to speed :evillol:

1990 the Camaro went with electronic speedo, 1986/87 for the Firebird.

You can get a cool digital speedometer that goes up to 300 mph for the third gens , it's a direct bolt in for the 1990 - 1992's and it has all the harware and wiring setup for the older skelw 3rds. I've been thinking about getting one , they look nifty o.o
