the clock was an option.there are a ton of consoles w/ clocks in the local parts yard. if its not used much, remove it & stick a cupholder there... great place to have at least one holder neway, rock on...

Yep...all the guages on the camaro's between 82 and 89 are interchangable...I've replaced speedo, tach, volts, temp, gas...er the whole cluster. It's real easy, the guages just plug into the cluster. I am not sure however if you can get away with putting guages in place of the idiot lights without making other changes.

i agree with IROCmonkey. its very simple. i change the double needle speedo from my 84 with a 145 speedo from an 86. works great. i had to chang my speedo cable because the needle was shaken like crazy. deffinately change the speedo. i like the 145 so much better.
