i have n 86' Camaro and was wondering if it was possible to switch my whole gauge cluster to one from a third gen Firebird. Thanks

Yeah, but you'd have to swap half of the dash as well. I'm not sure if the wiring is the same, but they use the same sensors (assuming similar year cluster) so it shouldn't be too hard electronically. Also, you have a mechanical speedo, birds changed to electrical in 86+, so you'd need an 85 or older cluster unless you really want to get into conversions and such.
