i have an 84 berlinetta with the not so attractive digital gauges... is there anybody that sells replacement dashes for them? or can i build my own with some autometer gauges. also would i have to do any wire fabrication? can gauges be plugged into the stock harness???? plz help me! thanks

 

I have the same set up and have checked on it before. Autometer makes a completely different gauge set up. It is REALLY NICE! Carbon fiber backing with Ultra Lite gauges! part number is 1825000 I think. It is a great looking set up but costs like $700! I don't know if it will plug into stock berlinetta wiring harness, but it will plug into mechanical set up.

 

Your choise are limited to a full dash swap from another F-Body or something that's custom fabricated.

I like the Berlinetta set-up but HATED the 85MPH speedo. My solution was to custom install an aftermarket performance speedo in front of the stock digital readout.

Swapping the Berlinetta dash out for a "regular" camaro dash is not the whole project - there are other things like the heater/ AC system and the Steering Column that also need to be swapped. It's not as easy as just swapping the dash housing on a sunny afternoon !

 

Yes,
And it's not a direct fit to change over to the standard center console. It's a completly different dash. It looks similar but it's not.

Here's a good link:

Remember you may not be able to use a standard cluster for a template.
I got used to my set up except that I'm adding a new steering column with a standard turn signal and adding C.C.
Otherwise I like the rest.


--For now...

 

I like the berlinetta set up except, the 85 mph speedo does suck. You just don't see many of the digital set ups out there on third gens. On the other side though, I had my left side lighting control/gauge selector pod go out, and had a hell of a time finding another one that worked. I ended up having to run a new headlight switch and wiring to the front lights after buying multiple e-bay units that didn't work! The only other option is to send the pod to a company in Chicago that fixes them for like a million dollars.
