Whats the difference? Early > Late gauges

[eugopnosaj 0]

Ok i wanted to change the gauge surrounds on my '92 to those from a '95 as i prefer the style and the dials themselves, i was just going to change the whole cluster but found that on the back of the '92 there is another socket which isn't present on the '95? What is this for? Neither cars use a speedo cable...

Currently ive just changed the backs of the dials over but as im replacing the engine it would be nice if the mileage showed the lower reading :wink:

It's for the vacuum tube connection. I don't think VR6 clocks had them.

Yeah i know thats the socket but what does it do and do i need it? They're both off of valvers if that helps...
