I had bought that 83 for $100 & decided to play around w/ it & do some conversions (better that car, than mine). I think the digital cluster looks cool, but totally not for accurate readings.

Not at all man, I grew up with those shows also. Knight Rider, Dukes of Hazzard, Airwolf, Fall Guy, A-Team, Magnum P.I., Starsky & Hutch. The list goes on and on.
