Re: Gauge Help!

Re: Gauge Help!
As far as I remember, the Camaros, before the electronic speedo, all had analog gauges. You will have to run a wire to the tach connector under the hood to operate the tach. You will also need to swap out your warning light switches(oil, coolant temp) for sending units. Otherwise you should be okay with any cluster before 89. Just to be sure, verify a mechanical speedo on the one you buy. DITTO on referring to the factory wiring diagram when making changes.
