Would a '87 Firebird digital dash work in a '91 Firebird?

Yes, we can make anything fit in a F-body...

It would be (i think) a wiring nightmare. It might fit fine, but would most likely require different wiring and possably different sender units (Espacilly if your current spedo is cable driven)

Check with Dakoda Digital, they would be able to tell you. Cant remember the web address though.

Digital dash

couple questions:

First, do you have the digital dash out of the 87?

Second, what engines are in the '87 and the '91?
(reason I'm asking is v6 and v8 use different tachs, if you use a v6 tach on a v8 and vice versa, you will get incorrect readings unless you change the senders)

I do not have the dash currently but it has a 6000 rpm tach.

My '91 has a 305 v8 tbi.

If you want a dash w/ digital readouts, and a digital tach line thing, check out Dakota Digital [run a google.com search].
