91 camaro, berlinetta digital dash, wiring help

So I bought a digital dash from eBay with the control switch and the connectors. I have a 91 z28 that I just completed a LS1 swap on and I want to install this. Any help.

any positive help. no offense but anything is posible so if any one have a schematic or something helpful then maybe this could work well. i am currently pursuing an electronics engineering degree so this just seemed fun.

Re: 91 camaro, berlinetta digital dash, wiring help

sorry. i never said its impossible, but iv attempted putting an anolog set up in some ones berlinetta, and vice versa. maby a couple wires were the same, but there is alot of connector bypassing you would have to do to get correct colored wires attached. you almost would have to strip every last wire down the lighting harness to get it all to work. i figured just a dash swap and kickpanel rewire and its good to go...but its not. on top of that you juggled in an ls swap. i guess just take your time and pay attention in your electrical engineering class and make it happen. not gonna lie, it sounds like a neat setup

Get an alldata subscription and/or a GM service manual for the berlinetta. While the dash is digital in a sense, it still reads analog senders so your LS1 stuff 'should' drive it properly. On the other hand, berlinetta dashes are notorious for having failing gauges
