It's illegal. But the only way you can do it is by disconnecting the speedo cable from the tranny.

on a 97, you can just unplug it from the back..although im pretty sure it logs a code in your computer that ford could look up

yeah, i saw an older, like 87' firebird in town for sale, and it had one of those 'new fangled' digital gauges, (like an S2000), so we didnt know the mileage,and not only that, it was a crappy hookup and the speedometer wasnt working (he said it was an easy fix... but i dunno, lol) thise is when we were looking for a car for my friend, who currently has an 87 POS I4 white/white primer, (thank god it matches) stang hatchback... hes still searching for a new car, lol

if you disconnect the cable it will trigger the check engine light and set off a code in the computer, you'll need a computer to reset the computer and remove the code.
