Possible to switch from digital dash to analog?

I am new here and I just bought a '88 GTA with a digital dash. It has some LEDs out and I would like to change to an analog dash. Is it possible without changing the entire dash harness?

I found a post about changing TO a digital dash. I am just not sure if those instructions will work in reverse.

Is there another thread dedicated to this out there?

Thanks,

Chris

everything should work in reverse, however, that's a lot of work to get a "just like everyone else" result. I'd do my best to find another digital cluster, or have the one you have replaced. A friend of mine found a digital dash from a junkyard car, don't know what worked and what didn't, and it's just sitting around in the shop...wonder what he'd want for that.

If you are looking to get rid of the digital dash, I'll take it. I need a spare.
