Dash Conversion Help

Ok, i know there has been many post in the past about this one, but they all branched out in weird topics. I need a straight answer as quick as possible. I have an Extra analog gauge cluster, and i want to swap out a digital Dash and put in the analog. What problems will arise doing the swap? The difficulty of the swap? Basicly...what the hell do you do. I havent messed with it yet, but before i mess around. I want to know if im going in the right direction. There are some well respected Z owners here, so im sure i might get an idea on whats going to happen.

Thanks

Re: Dash Conversion Help

i'd say the best bet is to find a harness at a yard from the same year as yours (only analog if that's what you want). pick one that's not been chopped up for aftermarket alarms/stereo's etc. You'll also find a good circuit diagram useful to determine wiring layout/redesign if needed.
