you may want to ask this question on the turbo buick sites, since the digital dash was only available on the 86 buick, i've seen most of them on the t-types with either SBC or turbo motor

the reset button has two functions...push to reset the trip odometer and turn it to set the readout to be in metric or standard...

oh and I aint that smart.....I googled it... :lol:

thank you for the help

i had already googled and thats how i found this site filled with people that are g body fans on the same level that i am. i searched further and did find the answer earlier today. so i rushed home during lunch and tried it real fast and it did not turn when you push the button in. BUT if you push it 1/2 way in it turns in order to switch it back to standard measure.

so thank you all so much for the help! i was starting to feel like mr. bean driving with kilometers on the speedo! i was thinking i was going to switch to after market gauges and spend a bunch of money which was cool with me but my wife was pissed L.O.L
