the ebay ones for the most part fit automatics. I learned the hard way.

Here's what I did:

Purchase a spare guage cluster from 20th St Auto ( near you in AZ) - $150 shipped

Ship to NHS - $11 UPS

NHS -

Check/Repair/Customize as needed the existing cluster including:

Odo Gear Replacement
White Faces
Repaint needles dayglo orange
Calibrate the Temp guage and install numbers ( as opposed to 'zones')
Install Blue LED lighting kit
Set this cluster to the proper (high!) mileage for my car

NHS total - $640

Ship back to me - UPS 2 day - $40

so the whole deal cost me $830.

Now I'll be selling the old cluster....hopefully for around $100 on ebay to recover a little $.

You can do all these things yourself for probably around $200 if you have time and skill....I have the skill ...but next to ZERO time and prefer to use it driving rather than fixing it at this point in my life!

Jager Engineering has the kits for both the white faces and the blue lights www.jageng.com

best

They have them on ebay all the time. The ones you are looking for are reverse euro with mpg. They are the more rare but I see them plenty.

I bought both my sets 83($19) and 86T($9.99) from eBay and driversgauge as the seller. Very nice quality with 3-M over aluminum. I was the only bid on the Turbo set as can be seen from the price.

If you're looking for a 'spare gauge cluster' I've got one on eBay right now. It ends in an hour, though (9:20-ish CDT).

Interesting... so thats where the gas gauge needle is SUPPOSED to sit when the car is off, mine sits well below that.. i guess thats why i never have more than 3/4 full on a full tank of gas!

Didn't someone post printable gauges? You could print them and paste them in place or something like that.

Exactly!

I still have them, but no place to upload currently' I'll have a look and get them up somewhere in a few days.
