I just put in a used cluster and can confirm the odometer reading is stored in the cluster and I can keep track of mileage using simple subtraction :P but I'm not sure if it was from a v8 or not so not sure if the tach is correct. At idle, it reads around 600 rpm. So am I alright with using it?

dr_bowtie

that would be about right....

I was gonna say, 600 is about my low point. I think I'm idling at 750 or so. Haven't paid attention to the tach lately.

87f-150

My truck runs at 800 at idle!

Last I checked 500-700 not driven it in a while since I got the 89 extended cab.

So just to confirm for an m5od with 308 gearing, does 1500 rpm at 25 in 2nd sound right?

Welder7018

My 300 with m5od and 3:55 gears does 1200 at 25. So yeah sounds about right

Just call me Sean

My truck doesn't see 1500 unless I'm blowing past it.

Thank you all for helping me out. Just finished getting the cluster in, putting on hooked wiper arms, changing my split bench to a bucketed bench, fixing the crack in my dash, scraping off the green on my gauges, changing my ignition cylinder to a chrome one, and changing my door handles to metal ones. Oh and taking a rag and bucket of water to my floor while my seat was out. Got quite a bit done today.

Vinyl floor? I just take a hose to mine. The rust holes let it drain out lol
