E-Body Speedometer Differences

[pschlosser]

Can anyone tell me if the speedometer face under went changes after 1970? I was under the impression the standard cluster was the same between Barracuda and Challenger during 1970-1974.

In the image, the speedo on the left is from my 1970 Barracuda. But it's unclear which models the one on the right applies to.

The numbers is different. And it may be hard to spot, but the needle on the left is flat and wide, wherein the one on the right tapers to a point with a ridge down the centerline.

Any ideas? where the one on the right comes from?

After some googling, I find a suggestion the other gauge is from 1970 (only) Challenger. Can anyone confirm?

The cluster housing and bezels are completely different for ‘70 Challenger. Try putting your Barracuda plastic bezel on both of those and if one unit is from a ‘70 Challenger you’ll know because it won’t fit.
