100 MPH Speedometer
I just purchased a gauge cluster off e-bay for $54.00 for my truck. It has a 100 MPH speedometer and I heard I need a different speedometer gear since I'm upgrading from an 85. Where would be the best place to get it? Also, where would I get the cables and sending units for the other gauges (Alt, Oil press, and temp.)?

The speedometer is already calibrated.

You shouldn't have to do anything ,unless you changed Tires/Wheels & Rear gears.

Speedometers are calibrated for 1000 revolutions per mile.
