i was wondering, when swapping in a different gauge cluster, is it possible to get the milage on the cluster to match the vehicle? if so how do you do it? iv heard bout using a drill, but i dont know if that was for chevy's or what. any idea? thanks

Take teh speedo apart and reset the mileage

how hard is that to do?
On an odometer with out trip odometer it is pretty easy. The ones with a trip odometer I have had no luck broke a needle on the one I tried. Now I have to think on describing how to take it apart how soon you need to do it?

Forgot to mention that I have obly done it to the non trip clusters.
crap, i hope it can be done. even if i have to take it all the way to 99,999 and restart at 0 to get to the right milage i dont care haha
Lets see, 2000 cable revolutions per mile, 40,000 miles, might be there awhile!
I guess some of the dremels are 20000RPM or so, that would speed things up.
Apparently though, the GM speedometers are made to NOT line up correctly once they've been flipped, so you can tell at a glance. You'll notice that on many speedometers of our vintage that are high mileage...the numbers are no longer straight across. Just depends if you really care about looks or not.
