In 1978 they came with 130mph speedos, And i was wondering if those guages will fit on a 1980 Z28? Has anyone ever tried this? Im just tired of this 85mph speedo they suck lol...

Yeah it will fit, I made the swap a couple of years ago. The needles are different and the hardest part is swapping them without breaking it. Not the greatest pic, but you can see it...

When I did mine, I kept the original odometer and installed it into the donor speedometer. I also installed a real oil pressure gauge in the clock. The autometer brand is similar to stock looking.

Thanks for the help, now just gotta figure out how to install it...

It's easy. Start with removing the exposed allen head screws on the dash board to get the bezel off. Hardest part of this is reaching up under the dash to find the little button on the headlight pull switch that will allow you to pull the **** completely out. The next hardest thing i had to deal with was getting the speedo cable back all the way in, but I had to replace mine since I eliminated the cruise control.
