I have a guage pack that has a 160 MPH speedometer in it, it's for either a 67 or 68. I have tried to find out what package this was originaly in but I can't.

Anyone have any info on this?

Thanks,

Lee

Firebird item for 67 & 69's

unless its in KPH which might mean its a Export cluster but I think they are 200 KPH as they were in the Philippines

That will be a 68 Firebird. The faces are a sort of gunmetal blue instead of black, and the inside of the housing is painted blue for the back lighting instead of green. The 68 Firebird heater controls are the same way with a blue, back lighting, lens.

I guess Firebirds are faster! ;)
I bought one to install in my 67, the color of the numbers is kinda white, not green like it should be.

On my 67 speedo, the bottom of the numbers all point toward the needle spindle center. The Firebird speedo has the numbers level and are actually easier to read.
Mine might be from a 68?

great web-site you have, but you might want to update your favorite links page. the american eagle site is now a link to porn. not saying thats a bad thing, but just thought you should know.

68 uses a flatter plastic lens too.
