    Hi does anyone know if instruments off of a magna of the same era will work with an 84 Interceptor 500?
    Thanks

    they should, not sure if the plugs will be the same or the cable threads but they could be made to work pretty easily if they don't just plug in. I assume your referring to the v30 set?

    Is there a reason you want Magna instruments? IIRC, the Magna parts are different shape/size so they would not bolt up without some work.

    I have an 84 Interceptor 500, and I want to modify it to be more of a street fighter, I have no experience with this sort of things whatsoever and this will be my first project. I want to put a round headlight onto it and put two circular instrument clusters on it. I know the magna uses these two circular instruments thats why im interested in it, I dont really know if its a v30 or not, just trying to see if there is an easier option then chopping up my existing instruments and machining my own housing for it. Any suggestions?

    I agree with not turning it into a SF, they are heavy, getting very hard to find parts for and a lot less power than newer stuff. JC Whitney use to have universal round gauges.
