Digital Dash

I have the digital dash out of a 1984 Camaro Berlinetta. Do you know if they will fit my 82 firebird? If so, how hard would it be to change? Is it worth it?

Well, since you have the dash, take a look. You'll see that it's a totally different shape and size. You would have the change the ENTIRE dash from the firewall forward. You would also need the berlinetta wiring harness and possibly a new speedo sending unit. In my opinion, it is substantially more trouble than it's worth.

Thanks for the help, by the way, I really like your web site, especially the restoration page.

Thanks. Hopefully shortly I'll have a similar restoration page for my 88 GTA.
