speedometer

I can't see at all why it wouldn't work. What year car is this? I know Ford Motorsport made the 140mph gauges for the 83-86 cars, I'm not sure about the 87-93 cars though. If you find one, I would certainly imagine it works just fine. The speedometer cable turns at the same rotation at the same speeds on the 4 cylinder cars as the v8 cars.

yes, it will bolt right in no problems. Just keep your tach, and the v8 one wont work.

Yes, you can swap in a 140mph speedo. You'll want to swap in only the gauge and not the whole gauge pods, because the tach won't work.

Keep in mind there is a difference in the pods between the 87-89 and the 90-93, so you'll want a 140mph gauge from the same range (which is rather difficult on the 87-89)

Besides, a 2.3 n/a has a hard enough time pegging the stock speedo...

I wish I could have convinced a GA. State Patrolman of that. 20mph over the posted speed. Thank goodness it wasn't a construction zone.

I'm not saying you can't speed in an n/a 2.3L, my two speeding tickets in mine would attest to that...

Getting it to do 90 and above is pretty impossible though.
