85 mph speedo ?

why does my 84 Z28 have only an 85 mph speedo in it ? the left side is MPH and the right side is KPH, and the needle is a double end one end is white for MPH and the other is orange for KMP, and the car is a Van Nuys car, i owulda thought this woulda got qa better speedo than just 85 one ? HO305 and 700r4 and 3.73

was the better one optional ? whats the RPo codes for the other speedos ?

thanks @!

Federal legislation didn't allow for speedos that read over 85mph till 1986. Late 86-up fbodies have 140 and 145mph speedos optional.

Any speedo from any 82-89 Camaro will swap into any other 82-89 Camaro, because they're all cable driven.

Do a search for the details.
