I have an 85 GT and the speedometer only goes up to 85mph. Does anyone know where I can get a conversion kit? Can I swap it out with a 120mph from a later model? I'm tired of pinning the needle when I pass people on the interstate.

Yes a 120 from a later GT will plug right in.

ISSPRO has a 160 mph speedo - check out www.ISSPRO.com; the speedo is from their Enhanced Visibilty Series. I have one but haven't connected it yet. Their tech support is pretty good too.

Thanks for the info, I checked the local slavage yards and no one seems to have any fieros with the 120 Speedometer. I guess I'll have to keep looking.

I know that the 120 came in the 86-88s, but was it on a specific model (I.E. SE, GT,) or was it part of a trim package available on all of them?

I've seen other wise. Black86SE's car has an 85 mph backlit speedo, and he has a V6. Actually, the numbers on the speedo don't go to 85, but the lines do. The last printed number is actually 80, and then theres more lines before the peg.

ok, the V6 seems to be a direct swap, but what about changing an 85mph 4cyl to a 125mph speedometer?

Yep my old 86 SE 2M6 also had the 85 speedo. I think the 120 was only used in the GT's...or special trim packages with the SE V6's.
