i have the 87 LT model camaro and i dont have a tach just a huge fuel guage but is the wiring for the tach behind there if i were to get one also would my speedo be mechanical or electric how can i tell? thanks

 

.

 

do a quick search but im almost positive your speedometer is mechanical

You can tell by the year the car was

Electric started either 89 or 90 I believe

 

Your speedometer is mechanical. Electical on camaros came in 1990 when they changed the dash all together. And my 84 s/c had the huge fuel guage and i got the 140 mph iroc dash with the tach and it works fine.

 

hey thanks guys
sickcuban, was the wiring for the tach already there?
thanks again

 

yes you see, there are 2 like clips in the back of the Guage panel. Each one has wiring going to them. The tach wiring is already hooked up.

To simplify everything i said, any swap of guages will automatically work, unless it is a 90-92 guage cluster.

And a little more FYI, if u swap like an 80 mph guage for 140 guage, it works fine. The only thing that you might have to change like i did was the sending switches since i had the tri-warning lights for like temp and oil, if u already have needles, it will be a direct swap.

Oh and no prob

 

thanks alot that answers all my questions
----------
nice car by the way love to see fellow 3rdgenners without ground fx

 

yea no prob. If u need any more questions about anything let me know. most of our "base models" run along the same page and i pretty much changed everything so let me know.

Oh and yea i was debating bout changing to the 84 Z28 style but i was like, this is like 300 lbs lighter so ill keep it.
