A dumb question

I have a 1982 Trans AM that I am trying to restore but I've always liked the digital intrumentation of the Camaro Berlinetta, and fortunately my cousin has a fully functional dash from his 84 Berlinetta. My question is this: is it possible for this to be used in a T/A? and if so what (if any) modifications are needed?

those pos star wars clusters were exactly known for being very reliable and trouble free


i would probably think twice about messing up an early bird

just me though

make my 82 one more rarer if you want to though, go for it

if you want ot remove the entire dash shell and all the wiring of the car to do it and hope that it even works, then yeah try it :d

personally i would be happy that i evne had an early bird, i wouldnt want to be trying some crazy thing with it and potentially ruin it

if you like those digital dashes so much then you might want to buy a berlinetta then
but theyre junk



welcome to the forum


good luck
