instrument cluster swap in a 3rd gen/fuel gauge ?
 

I want to swap mine out for a 145mph cluster, should everything just plug right in and work? this would be going in my 89 RS

my fuel gauge is broken too. could it be the sender in the tank causing this? the gauge does not move at all its like stuck at half a tank

IMO i'd check the floater in the tank

I swapped the factory cluster out of my 87 for a 145mph cluster. Only problem I had was with the choke. I put a cluster from a fuel injected car in place of my original one. There was some difference in the printed circuit, one of them had a "choke" lamp and the other had a "security" lamp. My choke did not work until I figured out what i did wrong.


Forgot to mention, my car is a T/A. I think the clusters are different from pontiac to camaro.

mph will be off, everythign else should be fine. as for the fuel gauge, could be the gauge itself or sender(no power, ground or signal)

I did this swap on my car and it work perfectly and the MPH was not off as far as I could tell.

Ron if you need any help give me a call i might even stop by.

kewl thanks fellas! my speedo is already off, due to the 9bolt rear that i have with 3.45 gears lol

would a 145 work in my carbed 86 T/A? every thing that runs the motor is independent of the computer.

it will work with no problems bubba, i have an extra one, 145mph 8k tach, minus the trip reset pushrod if your interested. damn near perfect shape

i scored one on ebay for 74.00 last night. hopefully, i should have it soon. I'll get pics and what not

$74.00 for a 3rd gen camaro 145 cluster? I see them at swap meets for under $40.00 all the time....

Oh yeah? well i didnt have to spend $30-40 in gas to go to a swap meet, or leave the comfort of my own home, lol. from what i gathered, people were selling them on the boards and ebay from 65.00 and up!

i've sold 145mph speedo clusters for $105+
