How hard would it be to hook this up???


I just found the instrument display to a 86 v6 firebird on ebay.I have an 85 and it looks nothing like that.I thought it would be better than what i have now.How hard would it be to swap.I dont have a tach or any of that stuff except speedo and fuel gauge.Heres the link:

If the cluster is the same form factor & will physically fit in the dash, then you would have to change out the oil pressure sender & temperature sender units to gauge type senders, since the senders are idiot light type senders for the cluster you have at present. You would also have to run a wire from the coil to the cluster for the tach. You should also check to verify that the cluster pinouts are the same for '85 & '86, however, it's likely that they are the same.
