86-171 convert. Speedometer

Post by toddf »

On my recently purchased 86 (#171) the speedometer only goes to 85. I have read much that says in 86 they changed to 140. Did any 86's make it out with the original 0-85mph speedometer?[/img]

Don't bet the ranch on this - 'cause it's soley from memory.... But I do believe that the COUPES ((full packaged)) ~ NOT the EuroCoupe, had the 140 H.P. Speedo and the 'Verts made do with the 85 MPH Speedo. as did the EuroCoupes (This all refers to model year 1986)

I dont know if it was replaced but my 1986 capri roadster has the 140 in it. So far I have not found anything but the radio that is not original.
