speedometer doesnt go below 7 mph
Ive noticed that my speedometer is reading a little fast, like 8mph above what Im going. then today I noticed that when Im stopped the speedometer never drops to 0 all the way. is there some way to adjust it or could it be a problem with the cable? dont know exactly what could cause it. I have stock wheels and tire size. and its an 87

hahahhaaaa....i'd like to see u explain that to a cop....then show him the speedo while dead stopped.....and tell him....i honestly have no idea i was speeding...
i'd say look at the speedo cable on the tranny.....but i doubt it would be something like that

I think even with gauge faces the needles arent supposed to be removed. I think they just slide under the needles, maybe if the needles were removed youd have to recalibrate them.

no its all stock, i have taken the guages out a couple times to mess with the logicon and crap but the cable is snapped in right. i also had a problem last year, it would not read above 100, i would hit 100 and keep accelerating but the speedo wouldnt raise

Do not pull off the small gauge (oil/water/gas/etc) needles though. You will bust the gauge and many people do not have the abilities to fix the gauge then.

thanks for the input icemark, im going to go adjust it.
I also have an s5 guage cluster that i hooked up before but it didnt work, are they interchangeable? or are the S5s broken

You would need to re-wire the gauge harness to use the smaller S5 gauges.
I have posted a couple times on what pins to move, and I think Kevin may even have it on his website
