Is it possible to replace all the factory gauges(tach will be run from an ingtion box) with all autometer stuff like a spedo,oil pressure, volts, fuel, h20 temp, and maye add a gauge or 2 more . Id like to keep the factory odometer. And id like to use LEDs for the lights(like the SES, brake, etc...). Would they hook up?? Looked at a wiring diagram, most looked ok except for the speedo cause of some solid state logic something or other before the guauge. Thanks!

 

Someone, anyone, please, some kind of imput.

 

I have a friend that did this to his 1994 Formula. He used Auto Meter guages. He put 5" speedo and tach in the middle and smaller guages for everything else around them. Everything worked fine in his car. He told me when I asked him about doing it in my 1993 Z28 I had at the time, and he told me it couldnt be done in a Z because there was not enough room for the guages like there is in the Firebird. This was my experience with guages, hope this helps a little.

 

How is there not enough room in a camaro but there is in a firebird? that really makes no sense to me, thought it was the same size gauge pod. Thanks.

 

I beleave it has to do with the Firebird having a more rounded style of dash, The Camaro is more rectangle. I beleave the 5" guages for the speedo and tach could prolly be the smaller size and it might work. This is all just what I was tols by someone that did the conversion. If you would like, you could PM my friend that did it. He is here on the board and may have some pics. His user name is S M R...hope this helps you out.

 

Thanks, sorry if if i sounded like an a$$. BUT i forgot to mention i wanted to put the tach where the A-pillar meets the dash, so i would have a bit more room.

But i do see what your saying with the roundness, one of the things you remember when someone points it out.

Thanks.
