> Just peered in on my ole '84 4000q, it says W1650.

"Good to know, thanks! IIRC, the engine went from 2144cc to 2226cc in '85,
but gear ratios didn't change."

All the 4000q were JT code engines, 2.2L. And all were 4.11 final drives,
but the '84 thru mid '85 gearboxes and rear diffs had some slight mechanical
differences(flange sizes, case castings, and 1-3 ratio differences (as I
recall). Nothing that should effect speedo drive.

"The speedo in there now says W1650, and it seemed accurate until it failed.
The cluster also has a trip computer readout. (Not what I wanted,
miscommunication with seller, decided to use it rather than hassle
w/returning it.) I think the trip computer was specific to the 4kq, and the
5 on the tach face also points to the cluster being from a car w/the I5.
So I'm becoming more confident that W1650 is correct, but please confirm the
above points. Thanks!"

Correct on the 5 being a 5cyl tach pulse, and the trip computer(MFA display)
is unique to the later 4000q models. The Coupes had it in digital form in
'86/'87.
My '84 doesn't have it, since it's pre that options intro.
