91 Lincoln car question
 

Digital speedometer and odometer, looking straight at it says all 8s, you have to view a angle to see the right numbers, is this the lcd screen that is bad??

Sounds like it. If you can see that it is attempting to display correctly, but can't, it is most likely the cluster. However, someone who is more familiar with the Ford brand may be able to be more specific.

Back in that time frame I bought a 1991 Mercury Cougar.

I was warned at the time to avoid the digital dashes, as they all went bad.

Don't know if you have the same thing or not. But....

I think its just a very lucky car with chinese parts perhap. Does it say 888? You could sell it on e-bay for a song IMO.

It's been my experience that most dashes are turned in for a refurb unit at a repair depot by the manufacturers. They especially want to transfer the odometer info to the replacement unit. Car out of service for a week or more.
It is rarely inexpensive. Better try your local (net connected) parts yard.

Oh how I miss the needle/analog. If it was me I'd replace the lcd then move up to the rest depending upon what whole new gauge setup costs, but then I usually end up buying to whole shebang at price then some only after I worked my self up to it. Yup, I start at what's cheepest and consider my luck then decide; wish I had better news for you. Friggin' junk yard dealers, ain't got c**p but when they do they charge new price and your already there, dealers! I'm ready, got a '79caddy rear & drive to drop into my resto just wish I'd bought the whole damn thing for a song, 'least I'd have heavy metals. Word of advice, don't secnd guess yourself and go for it; never look back!
