Firebird Gauges in a Camaro
Can I put Firebird gauges in a camaro without any fuss or muss? In otherwords, do they bolt right in and connect the same?

They would probably plug into the dash harness and read correctly (provided same year, motor type, gauges or idiot lights). But to actually bolt them in would require a dash swap.

Re: Firebird Gauges in a Camaro
You will likely need to swap the dash because the clusters are two totally different sizes. Also in many years the Camaro had a mechanical speedo where the Firebirds were electric.
In short answer is it is not a direct swap.
