      Pic of motor will solve this mystery. Cluster swapped at some point?

          Here's the only pic of the motor I have right now. Not at home.



          I thought about a cluster swap but why go backwards?

              Cluster is from an eta.

                      Are you only taking it to red line? If so you are missing out big time.

                      The M20 really comes to life from 4k to 6.5k

                          That's an early 84 - 03/86 cluster as well

                              if and when you replace it, i'll buy the e cluster from you if the odometer works. is it a vdo or motometer?

                                  Not really haha I wondered why when I took it there I never herd the rev limiter..

                                  The odometer doesn't work... Which makes me really wonder now how many miles this car has....

                                  Total noob question but we are sure it's an M20 by that photo yes? I could figure it out if I was at home but I'm not and it's bugging me.... Cuz that would suck if it wasn't...

                                          Its definitely a m20b25. The intake manifold is a dead giveaway.
