digital speedometer question


Recommended Posts

Would a digital speedometer from say a 94 regal be able to be wired in and work correctly in a 97 monte carlo? Thanks

why would you possibly want to make a squared off cluster work in a car with a very curved dash?

 

if it's for the digital speed, there were police luminas that used a modified cluster that had a digital speed and odometer readout.

huh?

 

so..... that had a 88-91 CS digi UB3 grafted into the cluster carrier of a 95-97 CS, which was then placed into a 90ish GP?

 

:willy_nilly:

soo... That begs the question... Would/could a UB3 fit into a gen1 gp? I've always missed mine

red plastic/vinly sheet would do it...... though light output would be noticably lower. certainly doesn't have a replacement VFD, the cost of that would be stupid-high for a one-off display.

I would actually rather everything light up the chevy/olds blue, but changing out everything in the GTP would take forever. If I did it I wouldn't be as worried about color

The few times i found a lumina digital for sale they wanted $400+ i can get a 94 regal speedo for like 10 bucks

I may be completely wrong buy I thought the last year the regals got a digital cluster was 91.

 

 

I've been trying to find one to put in my 93 regal.

the tach on the digital clusters is driven over the datastream, just like on the cutlass supreme digital UB3, so unless you want a dead tach, you'll need to work something out for that.

Found a curved dash first gen w cutlass with a digital cluster think it was a 95 anyway how bout mamin that cluster work in my monte?

Posted

that doesn't exist from the factory. the 95-97 cutlass supremes got a dash/cluster that is more or less directly compatible with the 94-96 grand prixs (the the regals fit in there somewhere, but i don't know if 94 or 95 started them).

 

in any case, that doesn't sound like a factory cluster.

Ill try to get a pic and some more info :)

1995-96 Regal didn't get a digital cluster either? 1988-92(I think) perhaps?

Hah! I was wanting to put an Astro digital cluster in my GMC Sierra but no tach, so I will stick with the 454SS tach cluster that I got.

Posted

Mebbe run an aftermarket digi tach :)

I just don't do aftermarket anything. I use GM parts whenever possible. Even my stereo is stock but modded so I can plug in my ipod.
