berlineta differences
The digital dash is different for sure.I just got a 84 that had a auto 305 carb engine in it.No engine in it when I got it.It has some aftermarket gauges mounted in it.How do I know what gose on the engine to make the stock gauges work and where do I get replacment parts for the things that are totaly different?Whats with the turn signal in this thing? Hows it work if it dose work?Anyone got pics of the stock engine bay on one of these cars?Please post it up in the thread pictures of stock engines.Or put them here so I can have somthing to go buy.

There is a switch pod on the left side of the gauge cluster with a flip type lever.That is the turn signal switch

Re: berlineta differences
do not hit that directional switch hard, They cant be wacked on/off like a normal directional lever. use light taps. When I had my 85 berlinetta I found them to be very fragile. That was 10 years ago. Im assuming time hasnt made them any less fragile.

Re: berlineta differences
Pretty much everything in the engine bay is the same as a similar year LG4. Some minor exceptions include fluid level monitors on the radiator and washer tanks. These pigtails will come out of the harness at the appropriate places so it's not too difficult. The wiper module is unique to the Berli as well.
