Electric gauge ?????

Hello, all i am putting a 5.3 and 4l60e tranny in an 84 chevy sb, i know you can get a 91 suburban gauge cluster and adaptor of some sort, but can i get electric gauges and the adptor to make them work instead? And would i just get the speedo electric or get all of the gauges electric, thank you for your time!!!

Re: Electric gauge ?????

There are a couple different choices you can go with... Dakota digital makes some and I think there is another that sells a direct swap, but about your only other option is to put aftermarket gauges like autometer or something and build your own brackets to make them work.
