85 berlinetta 2.8l DASH!

i need the digital dash or digital instrument cluster, whichever you wanna call it. I can't find one anywhere. Apparently they have to match your motor to so i need one the was with the 2.8l v6?

thanks for the help

Even though it is a digital dash, I'm willing to bet that the tach circuit is the same as the analog circuit, which means you could modify a V8 tach to work with a V6 with a simple resistor swap. The only other difference on an analog dash is the oil pressure range, but on the digital one it may be compatible, I'm not sure.

The oil pressure gauge is analog, and the tach is digital. If you put a V8 dash in, it will screw with the tach, but I'm unsure about playing with resistors. I have a V6 dash I believe from an 86 berlinetta with fuel injection if interested. Worked perfectly on my '84 with carb so it doesn't really matter which v6 you have it would appear. Click on my name on the left and send me a private message if interested, and I will get you a shipping quote if you give me your zip.
