Question about Swapping odometer and Trip Reset.

This more falls into maybe the legal section of things, my 93Z's factory meter has broke and no longer registers miles on the car.

To be up front and honest i have absolutly no intent of ever getting rid of the car.

I have another cluster out of a 96 camaro with like 37 miles on it,
The quesion here is by law would i need to adjust the reading on the new cluster to match my car. which will be a pain in the *** to do for one.

Or just swap it as is and leave it be?

On a legal standpoint isnt the law that cars older then 10 years are mileage exempt?

What would you guys do in my situation.

I would install it. If you do ever sell it, there is a place on the Title to check stating that the mileage is not true.

You can probably dial up the new odo to match or just document the mileage on the old and the new for future reference.

Good idea guys, just was checking everyones opinions on it, i mean i could probably pull the cam holder deal off the speedo dials and adjust them back to the correct mileage of the old one, but thatd be a pain to do.

ill just save the old odometer with the old mileage somewhere safe in case i ever sell the car i can add em both up and have correct mileage of the car.
