Replaced my 1988 rear end with a 1991 (I now think it was an ABS car)

Trying to post again correctly -- power blinked ... If this shows up twice, I apologize in advance!

Now, like others have reported, my speedometer is way off. Apparently the rear end was from an ABS car, and of course, my 1988 is not. Both the speedometers were numbered the same (K10042) ..Art has mentioned there is a converter box behind the speedometer on the 1991. I may be able to get it, but I have no idea what it looks like. Any ideas? Keeping my fingers crossed it will still be there...

I replied to Art on another thread then thought I needed to start one of my own and not hi-jack the other thread.

I have a speedo from a 1992 up-- don't have the k number off hand.

I also have a collection of circuit boards:
numbers in tab just above the idiot lights --
993 087 388 (two of these)
993 087 432

Then one with no numbers there but to the right is X 16-120.026 and just below that is stamped X 16-120.027

Are any of these compatible with the ABS rear end? And will I just need the newer speedo for the ABS, and can I swap the Tach, heat and gas guage from the
'88 into it?

Also If I have to uses the newer whole cluster, can I replace the large clock with the large tach from the '88?

Sorry for the long post, but kinda lost right now as to which way to go first..

As always -- thanks in advance for the help!
