I need help with something different. Has anyone ever tried putting a 90-92 dash in their pre-90 Camaro? I have the dash and gauges sitting in my garage and I would like to try it. Especially since I am doing a T-56 conversion I figured it would be nice to have a direct plug-in for the speedo.

------------------
I WOULD RATHER PUSH A CAMARO THAN DRIVE AN IMPORT

1983Z28 350w/ edelbrock performer RPM power package , dynomax shorty headers, 700R-4 with shift kit, 750cfm carb, edelbrock 3" exhaust system, 16" IROC rims and ASCD SS hood.

future mods:
completely done over suspension, black paint with flames,
T-56 almost ready to go in, TPI swap coming up

Wifes new car:

95Z28, AT, leather, T-tops bone stock for now.

future mods:
header to tailpipe replacement and a cold air intake. Then I am just going to leave it alone

I pulled my whole cluster and had a copy of the black made in carbon fiber that is blank (no holes). I'm in the process of using Autometer Phantom gauges throughout.

in the A-pillar:
2-1/16 A/F meter w/disable switch if it annoys me
2-1/16 A/F fuel pressure Electronic w/ full sweep and remote ecm

in the dash:
5" 160mph electronic speedo
5" 9k rpm tach w/recall
2-5/8" Fuel level
2-5/8" Voltage
2-5/8" water temp
Shift light mounted to steering column

Under center vents:
2-5/8" oil temp
2-5/8" mechanical oil pressure
big red warning light next to cigarette lighter

In the console:
2-1/16" n20 pressure (shhh... it's a secret)

got this idea from looking at trans-am series cars and USTCC cars. I'm running a T-56 and 450+hp 383
