Cav GSI clocks.

Just a simple question.

I am changing my clocks on my Cav GSI because the old ones are badly pealing on there faces so I brought another set from someone breaking another GSI, But.........

My clocks have a rev counter that goes up to 8000, the replacement only goes to 7000. Does it realy matter? did they fit both types to the GSI or has someone sold me a non GSI set?

Also when I move the needle on the replacement rev counter it returns back quite slowly, (Slower than I would expect the engine to settle back) but the old ones are quite free and fall back with little resistance.

As usual your help would be appreciated.

Cheers :beer:

7000rpm clocks are not from a GSi cavalier and more than likely from an SRi or i think the turbo had 7k clocks

sounds like someone has sold you some non gsi ones

also be careful - on the dials is a four digit code which needs to be matched on the new dials to make sure they are calibrated properly

my revc ounter died and i needed to get a certain coded set to be accurate

when my rev counter died it wouldnt move properly at all or very infrequently
