I believe you need to get the conversion box to switch the signal from mechanical to digital, and it should work... i think

Firebird's went to electric in 86. When your speedo works, the odometer will work.

the odometer will work if the speed works.. problem though is actually being able to get the odometer to show correctly.. the trip and all wont work with the wiring that is found.. it was figured out and should be here somewhere on the boards.. i think i have the wiring somewhere as well.. i was going to use the digital cluster but ran into a deal on a 97 camaro cluster so used it instead, but i was able to illuminate the digital odo correcly if i recall.. ill look and see what i have.

i have a digital odometer and it works fine with only the input from the tailshaft mounted VSS.
the trip on the other hand, resets everytime i shut the car off.
no computer in my car, no biggie.
mileage is intact and correct.
