gauges on my 89

i have an 89 formula with a 305, and i recently my gauges have been fried. there was a good cloud of smoke from the vents and now nothing works.

my questions are:
-is there a place that sells printed circuit paper for these gauges?

-is it possible to tansfer all digital gauges to my car if it was needles before?

and is there any other options with either autometer or equus gauges that i can replace it with?


thanks and any thoughts are welcome

OK what happened to make it fry? I would be worried about that first.

Just get a cluster from the JY

Yes, do a search, several companies make them.

Again, search is your friend. Yes.

Re: gauges on my 89

i havent had a chance to tear into my dash yet, it happend while i was at college. the digital gauges i meant to say were out of a trans am, i was wondering if i could get those to work. and i have looked and found equus gauges for 380.00 then i have to buy that covan pod for 124.00 from year one.

does that help a little more?

i also plan on tearing into the dash within the next two weeks too, it will be a good spring break activity.
----------
i was also wondering what the JY site is too. if i could buy some stock oem gauges from there i would definately do that.

thanks again

Dakota Digital sells an all digital cluster and it includes most of the sending units. It gives you all sort of options including 0- 60 times, speed monitoring and more. Google them, but expect to pay a bit. I didn't look at them for the formulas but I know they had them for the camaros.
