Gauges will work. You will need a new distributor. And if it's an automatic you'll need a computer simulator that plugs into the tranny.

as far as my 84 TA goes that's all true. you'll just need a vaccum advance distributor. the computer was just completely cut out of my car. everything works fine. I have a T-5 tranny though so I'm not sure about the lock up features.

Mines a t-5 so I wouldnt know about the tranny stuff. But as far as the rest of the stuff what i did is, i checked the factory harness for big power wires, i think i ended up finding 3 10 ga. red wires that made all my accessories work through the original fuse panel. I found themat the battery connector. after that i just eliminated all the extra tbi stuff, check out my page and see how it looks now... hope this helps
