is it at all possible to.........
To put the very nice 90-92Z28 dash in my 83Z28? I am carbed and have no computer controls at all. Or am I going to have to wait until the day I switch to TPI?

I'm not a huge expert in this field, but since no one else has answered, I'll toss in my $.02 - I'd say that it could be done, given you have the time and $$$. Your Z doesn't have electric speedo signals, IIRC, so you'll have to put an electric speed sender unit in. I think that 83 Z's had all the rest of the sensors electronic, so it should be doable, given you match the signal powers to the guages i.e. you properly convert a lower RPM signal to work on a higher rpm cluster, etc. Be ready to shell out big $$$, and I hope you have lots of time. Also, you will have to build some mounts for various components yourself, so you should be handy with metals, as well. As far as the electronics go, though, I'd say why not. You just have to make all the signals compatible with guages. Best of luck, and email me if you get it to work out!
