I have a 1984 berlinetta and my gauge cluster (digital) is starting to foreshadow an upcoming failure. My question is if I will be able to swap a cluster from another thirdgen (non digital preferrably) into mine. If so which one would make it easy, and what all would I need? This is really important to me because my biological speedo, well i dont think it really exists per say...oh yeah, just in case it matters, it has tach, odometer, trip, oil pressure, voltometer, thermo, and fuel, rest are dummy lights.

 

sorry to bump this back up, but i really do need some help here...

 

You are stuck with the digital dash cluster my friend.

The ONLY way you can get a "normal" speedo in your car is to swap the ENTIRE dash housing from another "NOrmal" camaro or Z28. you will also need a replacement steering column, floor console, and various other parts in order to make the swap successfull.

If your dash ever fails - let me know. I still have a few working ones...... don't forget to tell me if your car is a V-6 or a V8 as it makes a difference !

well john...now that i am switching over to TPI i will also be using a completely different wiring harness, from an 85 or so TPI presumably....so that should solve the connection problem as per changing to analog...but how about size...will the other clusters physically fit in place of the digital???
