Re: cluster swap?

Have you read the Swapping an electronic speedo into your Firebird tech article on this topic? http://www.hioutput.com/tech/speedo.html

I swapped an electronic speedo out of a 91Z28 into my 87 IROC. It was a project. Before all said and done, the dash and harnesses were transplanted too. Hope your project isnt as involved.

Good luck

Re: cluster swap?

Hey thanks for the info/link. Where would I find the yellow box? I'm not sure if my car had or has it. I think my old cluster had the "eye" but I gutted the cluster for sport comp gauges (speedo &tach ) but oil and temp are factory
