Guage cluster mod?

Hey all.
I have an 82 and the darn speedo only goes to 85... Of course you all know this. But I was wondering if there is any way to get either a different mph guage or a different cluster.. Any ideas?

Well there is one way to go with this,,the next time your at the junkyard
keep your eyes open for a 1983 GSL . your car is a GS ?? i'm an 82 GS
and the speedo goes to 85 mph ,,you'll know the 83 GSL cluster because
it's the same as what you've got, but the GSL's speedo goes to 140..
And i think it matters what model 7 you have,before going further,,
for a direct,plug-in stock cluster,and for it to work,,too..
that whole concept, i just went through,,i got a 83 GSL guage cluster
from the boneyard,and bought white face guage overlays to install on
the GSL's,,but i haven't done anything yet,i'm kicking around a couple
of other idea's first..


In the picture..it's not a picture of mine,but belongs to another forum member..

Wow that looks nice. Yeah I noticed my redline is at seven grand but..... I accidentally went kinda over it to like 8500. Wierd thing was that it was still goin strong. Guess its just a rotary thing. I will start lookin for an 83. Thanks for the info...
