I was wondering what others opinions were on this decision I looking to make. Here's my situation. I am putting a t56 in my 85 ta which has a mechanical speedo so I'd have to have the tail shaft mod. I can either keep my stock looking dash which I have the refaced speedo from f body motorsports which goes to 160 and





OR I can get this digital set up in red to match my A pillars gauges. This also has some extra features as well.

You've already put a lot of effort into your current set up, and the digital one is a bit pricey. Having said that, I quite fancy one myself now! especially since I learned that you get a new sender for the temp, meaning the inaccuracy of stock temp gauge would be sorted. and they do look kinda cool. If I were in the States and in your boots I think I'd be swaying to digital.

 

It's $370 to mod the tailshaft of the t56. Or 435 for the digital cluster which I would no longer need to modify my tailshaft. Plus like you said it will do away with the inaccurate temp gauge which is also something else I've thought about. I think mine is off by about 20 degrees or more. It's so bad I put a mechanical temp gauge on my intake by the thermostat. Another bonus would be if I changed gears or tire size I wouldn't need to mess with the speedo gears

Please keep the opinions coming. Also if anyone has one of these clusters how do you like it?
