I haven't heard of a 160 cluster, but would be very interested if they made one. My plans of now are to get a 4th gen dash, they bolt right in so that's cool. Let me know if you find one though.

I have a 160 MPH cluster I removed from a heavily damaged 1986 IROC-Z Camaro. The speedo has a dual pointer MPH on the left and KPH on the right. The oil pressure, and coolant temp guages are in metric (KPa).

I have never seen another one!

It is not for sale of course.

It is a round single speedo which has a left and right scale, the left scale starts at 5MPH at the bottom. The right scale starts at near 5KPH at the top. So as you increase your speed the single long needle will register on both scales at the same time.

I have never used it, it is just part of my collection. I will be bringing it to the Fbody Gathering in Atlanta because some people "doubt" its' existance.

I have a brochure from the Corvette Clinic from about 1985 or so. Are they still around? Starting to feel old

For my 84 HO, I just bought a 145mph speedo back in 87. Put it in and it worked flawlessly. Only the needle was a little different than the rest of the gauges but it looked completely stock.
