  • Difference between new and old clusters

    I normally have a orange lettered cluster in 91 and works good, anyways I think it does. I'm testing out a white letter tach cluster for a few days, and on that cluster the temperature gauge started out fine but it seems to read higher than the other. It was a little over half and on the other it seems to be a little under when fully warmed up. But the fan didn't kick on or didn't seem hot. Also the tach seems to read about 100 rpm faster. So I wonder which is correct. I'm going to run it a few more days and switch back.

    keep in mind, these "instrument clusters" dont have a single instrument in them. Instruments are PRECISION measuring devices. The best these can do is give us a rough idea as to the vehicles conditions. Basically, if both temp gages are near the middle when warm, and the RPM is within about 500rpm of actual, you're doing good.
