90-92 gauge swap into an 84 z
Has anyone done this and what is required to do it. I almost positive my current gauges arent dummies, but if they are what would show me they are? Do i need to change anything out other than the gauges? Any help would be appreciated. Also if you know of a webiste that has dont this. Thanks

Idk about the dummies but the 90-92 cluster has an electronic speedo and your 89 and earlier cars have a cable driven speedo. You would have to some how convert that. Idk how but thats one thing i can tell you

And, one way to do this is buy a donor car (90+) and swap the motor and harnesses out of it... im sure theres another way, but i dont know for sure so dont quote me on it

Correction: Pre'86 cars are cable driven, not pre-89s.
