305 tbi to 350 carb problems

I have a question that I can really use some help with. I did a engine swap on my 91 camaro rs 305 tbi to a 350 carb. In the process we had to disconnect my computer. When we did I no longer have a working speedometer, gas gauge and all of my other gauges. While researching online I came to this site because I noticed members have done similar swaps. After taking apart my cluster I noticed my gauges seems to be controlled electronically. Does anyone know what I have to do to get my gauges to work. Thank you and i apoligize for any bad spelling and grammar on a cell phone and its annoying me.

Welcome aboard thirdgen.org.

Removing the computer shouldn't have disabled your gauges. You must have done something else to the wiring when you did this swap.

Re: 305 tbi to 350 carb problems

On a 91 camaro the back of a cluster is not controlled with a cable but with plugs. So this is not being controlled by the computer. Thanks for your help
