I just got an 82 sport coupe, factory 305 car. The gauge cluster has no tach. Has speed/kilo's on left and gallons/liters on the right gauge. And three warning lights in the center. Does anyone know if this is year and model correct?

 

I assume this is for a Camaro, what trim level is it? The lower trim levels on Camaro/Firebird often omitted the tach and other guages.

 

Idiot lights and no tach are standard. Very few base Sport Coupes were optioned with U21 Special Instrumentation, which was standard on Berlinettas and Z28s.

U21 included a tach, volt meter, oil psi gauge, temp gauge, and trip odometer.

 

At one time I owned a plain jane v6 firebird with the idiot lights and no gauges. I prefer all the gauges myself to keep an eye on things.

 

Thanks I appreciate it.. Can you tell me if the cars dash wiring will accept this U21 package or would it have to have the corresponding dash harness?

 

I owned an 85 305 car with the idiot light dash long ago. IF I remember right, all you have to do is swap the gauges (obviously) and the corresponding switches to the correct sensors. Should be fairly plug n play IIRC.
