Holley 12.3" pro dash

Hey guys just wondering if anybody has fit a Holley 12.3" pro dash in a 91 Camaro?? My stock gauges are toast and I'm not about to try and fix them. I'm thinking of the pro dash or their analog can bus gauges. Thanks

Yes many, they are really nice, and are a close fit to the original dimensions of the IPC.


Also, Member @Swapper currently has one in his car (see below) and looks great!

Re: Holley 12.3" pro dash

it takes some work but it fits and looks great in there. also thanx vortec!. lol

basically need to cut a hole in the top just under the dash pad, need to space the column down a couple washers and need to trim the top of the steering column. i made a gauge blank to screw it to but theres people you can buy blanks from.

Sweet it looks really good in there! I figured there would be some kind of trimming needed but doesn't sound like too much

I looked on mako's website and it doesn't look like they support the Holley Pro Dash. I'm planning on installing a 12.3" Pro Dash in my 1987 IROC. It's definitely going to require some fabrication.

I've spoken with owner, Cory at Car Chains 3D He makes a kit/bezel that fits the 90-92 3rd gen Camaros. When I spoke with him last summer, he told me that he had an earlier 3rd gen Camaro dash and he was working on trying to develop a bezel for the 12.3 PD that fits in the earlier cars. I should probably give him another call and ask if he's made any progress.

I have one of these in my LS376/480, Tremec T56 Magnum swapped, 1991 Foxbody Mustang coupe.  I love it!  Can't see ever going back to round dial gauges.

The Pro Dash will need to go up as high as possible to allow the steering column to be bolted back into place.

I'm all jelly belly! I really should have gotten the pro dash instead of going with an Autometer cluster.

I have a Pro dash in my 1986 Iroc. I need to start a thread about that car, but posting in here now, so I can get some new pictures and upload them in here soon.

You have a 12.3" Pro Dash? If so, that is super awesome and I'd love to see some pictures and a description of what you had to do to install it. What did you do to mount the steering column with the PD taking up space where the column needs to be?

There's another guy on here with I believe a 91 Z28 that had a 12.3 PD and he had to shim the steering column down a bit too get it to fit just right.

Yes. The column is going to need to be shimmed downward for sure.

I ***think*** that the 12.3" Pro Dash is a little easier to fit into the later, 90-92 Camaros. The late, OEM instrument cluster is way different and I believe that actual dashboard that it mounts to is different as well. Earlier in 2025, I asked the question on this website about the difference in the actual dashboard between the two and I never got an answer. Part of the reason why I wanted to know about the later model dashboards is because Carchains 3D makes some parts to mount the 12.3 PD in the 90-92 Camaros.
