Default Replacing 84 with 85 dash display

Is it possible to replace the 84 display with a the 85 which has better improved graphics. Are the wire harnesses the same . Would the MPH, fuel, tach, op, temp readings be affected?

I know specifically that the tach senders are not interchangable due to a CFI/TPI difference, and I would imagine the CPU as well.

If the newer clusters will in fact work , why go with the 85 cluster??...It's a known fact the best cluster was the 89 cluster..These were the last ones made and had all the bugs worked out which means less problems.......WW

To find out for sure if the other clusters will work in your car, email Bryan Thompson and ask at .... sales@batee.com
