Speedo Guage
Does anyone have access to a junkyard with a 1st gen in it? My speedo is _not_ accurate at all by any means whatsoever, and could someone pull the guage cluster for me? I will pay whatever you think its worth please (it reads 10 mph when going 1, and when going about 4 it reads about 60)

I would prefer the stock gauge if at all possible, PM me a price and most likely I'll go for it, im pretty desperate... the whole cluster would work, I only really need the speedo, any miles is fine with me.

Two things I would suggest.
1. If you are going to replace the speedo in an 80, I would replace it with a 79. Because the 80 only goes to 85 mph, and the 79 will go to 135. Much better and the 79 looks exactly the same. 81 and newer will not match your gauge cluster.
2. You probably don't need a new speedo anyway, I am guessing that your drive unit is toast. Just buy a new drive cable and replace the old one. I bet it solves your problem.
