I thought only the 4 cylinder cars came with the 85 mph speedo, but someone told me today that he had an 86 SE with one. What's up ?

I know the 85 GTs had 85mph I will have to look at my 86 SE later to see what it has

I think anything with a V6 has the 120mph and anything without has the 85, but I could be wrong

i think any v6 cars after 85 had the 120 speedo but the can be swapped over pretty easily and that what might have happened.

i guess all US L4 had the 85mph Speedo
85-86 (middle) V6 85 mph
87 - 88 V6 120 mph Speedo

84 canada -> 85 mph speedo
85 canada -> 85 mph speedo
86 canada -> 85 mph speedo
87 - 88 L4 canada 85 mph speedo
87 - 88 v6 canada 190 kmh speedo

no confirmed information , only searched my pics

For sure, my 85 GT had the 85 mph speedo, but I swapped in an 86 speedo.

Mine does unfortunately

my 85 SE V6 has a 85 speedo

my 86 SE also has the 85 speedo

I believe that the only Fieros to have a 120mph speedometer were the Fastback GT's and the Formula. I'm pretty sure all SE's had the 85 mph, though some were back-lit, like the 120 speedo.

------------------

The 120mph started with the 86 GT. I'm pretty sure all prior to that had 85mph. I know all mine did, including one 85 GT, two V6 86 SEs and two V6 85 SEs. 87 and 88 I don't know. Every stock 4 cyl I've seen had 85 mph

Interesting info eveyone. My concern was that maybe someone had switched the guage cluster and the odomter was no longer the one from the original car (the stated mileage was not accurate). Seems like it might me OK though

This is true. The 120 MPH is linked to the fastback GT and Formula.

The backlit 85 mph are one of the oddballs of the mix. There was also a sidelit 85 mph that looked like the 120 mph as it was paired with a wraparound tach. One of these days I'm going to start a thread of all the clusters I have seen. There are more models out there than you might think.

Thanks Jon.

Instead of dicking with all the different speedos, you'd think they would have taken the time to correctly wire up the temp gauges ....

The 87 SE had the 120 speedo. Not 100% sure if the 4 cylinder 87SE has the 120 speedo, but the V6 version does. The 86SE V6 had the 85 MPH speedo.

I bought one from ebay that is in KPH / mph instead of MPH / kph, and put in my base coupe. It shows 140 (KPH), sure fools some people. Think that I will change back to a regular speedo though.

If this is true then it was the exception to the rule.

If would have been nice to fix the temp guage instead of creating multiple clusters.

I have an 85 four banger that came with an 85 speedo, but I swapped it to a 120 mph one.
