anyone know what the differences are between the two guage clusters for the 84-85 fb? i thought they were the same, but now i hear they may not be

They are same.

 

other opinions?

 

they are the same, i have 4 sets of gauge clusters, 3 1st gens and 1 2nd gen set, and they are all interchangeable, 2nd gen has some minor changes

 

81-83 guages are different than 84-85. But other than a wierd 80 mph speedo (i think in 82), the 81-83 interchange and the 84-85 interchange. Not sure of the 2nd gen..

 

I'm not entirely sure about the USA, but as far as I know LHD dashes can be broken up in the following: 79-80, 81-83, 84-85. S1 and S2 are more or less the same (although you guys got some stupid 80mph speedos) but the S2 ones include oil pressure gauge. S3 is really different, with a different dash, and different cluster (tacho isn't in the middle, for example)
RHD cars neevr got the "updated" dash.
