'91's are notorious for bad capacitors in the speedo. You can try and solder in new ones or upgrade to a later and better year:

IIRC, a later dashboard with the fixed speedo circuit will have the wrong gas gauge reading. or something annoying like that.

That's true, but if he has access to a local pick n pull, the parts(including a different gas gauge) are readily available and cheap. Better than sending to be repaired which can cost over $300.
