how many different clusters
how many different gauge clusters came in the 85 camaros.I got a s/c and a berlineta.So I know for sure the 85 speedo type and the digital type in the berli.I'm wanting to take the 305 carb engine out of the berli and put it into the s/c.the ecm and engine harness have to go into the s/c.Question?will my stock gauges work in the s/c when I put the 305 ecm and engine in.Or do I need to find a different gauge and cluster harness.I dont really want the digital cluster in it if I can get a standered cluster.would perfer a 110 or higher.I got a 110 out of a 90 camaro rs.Now if I can plug and play my 85 cluster I will do that!!!!

Re: how many different clusters
There are 2 different styles of clusters in 3rd gen camaros.
82-89 <- mechanical speedo
90-92 <- electric speedo
You can swap a 90-92 style cluster into a 82-89 camaro, but it is alot of work. The dash is different. The cluster mounts different. The connectors are different. The speedo is different. There is some custom fab involved. Do a search, there are a few threads about it.
--edit--
as far as 85, I believe there is 4 different clusters?
Berilenta digital
base w/ idiot lights
full gauges w/85mph? Speedo
full gauges w/110mph? Speedo
Im sure someone will know the different speedos. I think you can swap just the speedo in that cluster? Someone with more knowledge on that would need to verify
