Hey fellas. I have a 1982-1992 Camaro< Firebird< Trans Am Dashboard with all wiring and everything. My hopes are to use the gauge panel and use it in one of my G Body cars. I noticed behind the gauges there wasnt a speedo cable hookup. It seems evrything is computer (electronic). Does anyone have any ideas on how I could use them. i can post pics if you want to help. Im guessing I'll have to wire it into my existing dash.

I've seen a Camero dash in an '80 Cutlass, looked cool as hell.
As for wiring it up I would start by getting a wiring diagram from a Haynes manual, that will tell you how everything is wired up and operates.
You will need to hook this up inline with your speedo cable:

I am currently installing a very rare 88 W-body Cutlass Digital Cluster in my '88 Cutlass and I will post as I get more info.

That is SWEEEEEEET!!!!!!!!!! I need more details! Definately do a write-up. I've been trying to come up with a differant instrument cluster setup. I'm trying to sell the Autometer gauges I have that won't fit for a differant style Autometer set. I wanted to keep it *sorta* stock looking but that would fit the bill perfectly!

I have recently though about doing this with my Buick, selling the GP dash and getting a 4th gen Camaro dash! I need to find a thread on it!

Liquidh8- just read your sig, how do you fuel your turbo? Is it a direct GN swap?

I have a custom tank I made to hold 2 Walbro 340's. -8 feed line, -6 return. I don't want to jack his thread, but I have pics of the tank and all in my build up thread, link my sig.
