LTB: 1987 Lincoln Mark VII instrumentation

[marquisman]

I have a 1987 lincoln mark VII that I bought about a month ago and looking for a analog speedometer cluster and trim piece. Will be using it to replace the digital one. Also, would love to have the electrical connector to go with it so, I can do some repining of the wires and such. Thanks!

I don't think its quite that simple. As far as I know, its been looked at a lot of times and its more involved than simply replacing one cluster with the other. If you know of a way though, I'm sure others want to know.

My main concern is to have a working speedo. After looking at schematics for both, seems like the wiring is the same for the VSS that goes to the speedometer head(plus the rest of the wiring looks the same for t-signals and such). After adding a wire for the tach, should be mint. Seems like the fuel gauge is the issue but, not for me. Plan on swapping the fuel sending unit and running with an aftermarket fuel gauge. I dont want to mess with the anti-slosh module and such. If I was going to do a complete working swap... I would be buying a new digital cluster lol. Since I just need function, I believe I can make this swap work for me.

But yes, I need a instrument cluster and connector to start figuring out this swap.

Also, plan on doing a 5-speed swap. Have a 92 mustang 5L and T5 on the way!

I have a cluster out of a 1990 Mark VII

I wonder if its the same as the previous years. If so, I would love to buy it off you. How much?

Make an offer, I bought it because it looked cool and gauge clusters were $15 at the pick n' pull that day lol.

[marquisman]

I will let you know in a couple days. Might be getting a whole 1990 complete parts car. I may buy it off you still. Spares are always good lol

[89TownCar]

Okay sounds good

Till then, still looking for a box steering wheel, grey in color. Non leather wrap preferred.

Theres an '88 TC at my local yard with a grey wheel, not sure if its leather wrapped. its a Signature Series

If you guys find a nice tan leather wrapped TC wheel let me know! I want one and can't find one. I prefer the leather wrap as the finger nubs on the non wrapped ones cause fatigue after awhile.

Mucho appreciado! Once I get one of those whoever wants my stocker can have it, it's in really nice shape.

Would you do $35 shipped, for the cluster? Unless shipping is some ridiculous price lol
