Digital to Analog gauge swap
I have seen a lot of posts with people wanting to go from the analog gauges to the digital gauges but I have not seen anyone going the other way. I am buying a GTA that has the digital pkg on it but one of the screens is busted and the car now has a 350 carb motor in it with most of the wiring hacked away. I honestly don't even know whats left of the digital system because it does not even light up so as of right now we can't see any vitals on the engine. Does anyone know how hard it would be to install a analog cluster back in? I figure I would need the cluster, lens, wiring harness, and stock style sending units. Has anyone done this before?

No idea, but I picked up an '86 firebird cluster for someone and then they didn't want it.
Does have a V6 tach though, but it's supposed to be able to convert to a V8 by changing a cap.
Email me from profile if interested.
See pic below. I have lens but it's not in the pic.

Here's a link to see. It's labeled tach locations but there's pics of entire clusters. Maybe some good ideas but be ready to shell out ~$500 for a set of Autometer gauges.

Do a search, I seen a really good firebird one, but it's the older style.
Otherwise, you could try going to a pick-n-pull and get the cluster, sensors and harness.
