speedometer swap

[Karl Robrock <robrock@domain.elided>]

I put a european instrument cluster in my 164 and I did not have to
perform any calibration. However, the 164 was sold in europe with 2 (as
far as I know) different instrument clusters: one that had the top speed
on the gauge labeled as 240km/h, and one that said 260km/h. The 2.0V6
turbo and the 3.0V6 had the 260km/h speedo, and all others (again, as far
as I know) had the 240km/h speedo. I would assume these two have
different calibrations, but I am not sure. The U.S. model went up to
160mph, which is closes to 260km/h. I put the 260km/h speedo in my
american spec 164 and had no problems. In fact, my U.S. speedo was
incredibly inaccurate, and the european one solved my problem!
