analogue to digital dash

I'm looking to convert to digital dash from the 140speedo fitted to cars of the same period as the digital dash. Can anyone give any advice with regards to the technicalities involved in swapping-out.

Will connectors for any of the speedo, tach, gas guage etc fit the digital dash?

Will any additional electronics be required to make it work?

many thanks if anyone can help!

By the way, I'm still looking for the parts if anyone knows of any!!

Andrew

I suppose this would depend first of all on what kind of car you drive. This is an extremely important bit of information that everybody seems to forget. To swap a Pontiac digital dash into a car not equipped with it can be a HUGE pain in the *** , but to put aftermarket digital gauges into a Camaro isn't so bad.
