Welcome to the Michigan FBody Association website.
The Michigan FBody Association is a centralized website for FBody enthusiasts to discuss what's going on in the Michigan area. MiFbody.com was created to allow for an easy one-stop place to find out what's going on in Michigan as far as FBody events, to find out what clubs are available in your immediate area, and for an easy place to post classifieds for items you want to sell! Our goal was to create a more close-knit community of FBody enthusiasts in the state of Michigan, and to bring Camaro and Firebird enthusiasts alike together for some amazing FBody events!
The most important thing to know about the Michigan FBody Association is that we are NOT a club! The Michigan FBody Association is open to everyone, and is a community.

Does anyone here know how to fix the tachometer problems in the 90-92 gauge cluster. I recently purchased a new/used cluster from a guy on thirdgen.org to replace mine that was constantly pegged. The replacement I received works, but at times is very inaccurate. I found a fix on the thirdgen message boards. Was wondering if anyone locally (Metro Detroit area) repairs these clusters? Please help!
Ouch! I think I can buy a whole new auto meter cluster for that. Terrible! Someone needs to start repairing these out of their garage. They could definitely make some money. There were 7 pages of responses to this thread on thirdgen.org. The fix that these guys came up with sounds pretty simple.. I'm no mechanic though! Thanks Brian!
Micheal, how good are you with the clusters? Would you or could you reset the mileage for me? I had a v6 but went to a v8 cluster for the swap, illegal yes but the car is new, and no intentions on being fraudulent, but since the car is gonna be basicly new, it would be nice to have a fresh start on the mileage.

I've repaired a few tach clusters on third gens and I have reset the odometer in my Bel Air and the 89 Silverado...so yeah I can probably get it to zero out.
It sounds like Michael has you covered.
However If in the event Michael cannot repair it for you, there are several businesses that advertise on Ebay which repair clusters. The cluster I got for my GMC was mileage matched, had all of the updates, plus additional goodies I didnt have before.
ship me your old one that doesn't work at all. I can probably get it to work for less than 20 bucks
I pulled the tach and the chip out of the one I bought and put it in my cluster.. Threw the rest away. These guys on thirdgen.org are soldering resistors in over a chip on the board and its correcting the accuracy issues. Is that what you do Michael? I'm not very good or patient with a soldering iron.. lol

That's one way of doing it. You can also use adjustable resistors (potentiometer/pot resister) to dial it it.
