80s cluster to 90s cluster
80s cluster to 90s cluster
Has anybody swapped from an 80s model cable cluster to a 90s model gauge cluster (electronic VSS) in a camaro?
I'm not so much worried about the wiring of the speedometer as the rest of the cluster/gauges and the mounting
thanks

tpi roc,
Do you have a tpi setup and ECM in your car? If you do you probably dont need the VSS Buffer box because the ECM already has it built in to it.
TBI, Carbed Cars need the VSS Buffer, However it all depends on what year.

But the wiring I have from the top of pic down is
connector1
Yellow
Purple
connector 2
pink/black-H
brown-F
red-E
brown-C
black/white-A
On connector2 the wires are lettered A-H. Its hard to tell exactly from the pic above if the wires are in the same slots as mine. SO to be sure Im using the right wires can someone tell me the function of the letters that are used on mine? A-C-E-F-H ThanX

87 firebird have a buffer box? that I should probably be checking out in my mission to figure out why my speedo does its own thing, wiring diagram shows one so I am guessing so. Just no clue what im looking for as far as buffer box goes.
