Re: Camaro gauges in '86 LWB
There's a thread somewhere done by 3ric that has exactly that but I'm having trouble finding it.

Wasn't any harder than the tach for me. Needs the same clearance mods though as the tach. I don't know how many photos are left in the thread though. Going to be a couple weeks till I do another one myself

It just hooks up directly to the speedo cable don't it?
Then just mount it in the cluster....

Pretty much. Once you have everything apart the only trick part is wiring really.

Re: Camaro gauges in '86 LWB
The 2nd gen camaro gauges work pretty good too. Speedo is a bolt in, tach requires a little clearance

Ok kewl....
How hard is the wiring and could you show how to hook up the fuel gauge once it's put in place with the tach?
What wire hooks up at what location?

Re: Camaro gauges in '86 LWB
Do you have the gauge in the tach or off to the left?

What I did was take some extra nuts that hold the circuit board on and extended wire from the back of the fuel gauge pins and made studs on the factory clustp backing were the factory fuel gauge studs pressed in.

Does that make any sense? I can try and get one pictures up but I'm not sure when.

Re: Camaro gauges in '86 LWB
Ya I'm gonna be running the fuel gauge in the tach and run the camaro speedo also....
All the other gauges on the left are gonna get swapped out with after market gauges also....

This is the way I'm gonna run tach and speedo...


With these gauges on the left side...
