Dash Conversion

I own an 84 berlinetta. As everyone here knows, it has the full digital dash. My Headlight/ turn signal pod was already broken when I bought the car, not knowing it was going to be a treasure hunt trying to find another one.

Well I finally bought one on ebay, but my question was, can I swap out the cluster area with a regular camaro dash? So its not digital? I want to know what I would be getting into before I start ripping it all out. Are the plugs the same ect??? Its just getting expensive and harder to find these parts for this car. I dont want to imagine whats next to go out. Thanks guys!!!

Re: Dash Conversion

No, the actual spot in the dash where the cluster goes is totally different from the digital one. i hear ya, i don't own a berlinetta with that dash but i hardly ever see them. they look cool when they work though...

Re: Dash Conversion

The only way to make it work is to convert the whole set-up..........
