Subject: Changing gauges in an L98 C4 by bearcat on 2018/9/10 3:08:19 Hey folks. Sorry this is long. I admit I haven't been on here too much in the past. But I've been missing tech talk in my other forum. All the tech guys have left. I guess I need to get my gearhead fix elsewhere...such as here. Anyway, Life has been nuts the last 4 or 5 years, and is finally settling down. I picked up a 1988 Corvette. Pretty, and had some nice mods, but suffered from a bad previous owner. We have no smog test where I live. So the smog pump is gone. A true dual exhaust with no cats runs back to a pair of Flowmaster 40 series Loud-as-heck mufflers...but I like it. It's got a foil, and someone in the past knew what they were doing when they ported the upper plenum. The front screen is in place on the MAF, but the rear screen has been cut out. And, it has a chip, but I don't know exactly what kind. It has C5 Z06 wheels, and the car is white. It's quick off the line, but I'm planning a 383 for it. Just because...a car optimized for torque is better off with a torque engine, instead of spending thousands trying to get the TPI to breath another 1000 rpm. The only think I don't like is the Star Trek Enterprise gauges. They look completely tacky to me. I do kind of like the center info-gauges. They're handy. But I don't like the digital and bar graph tach and speedo. Lately I've been wanting to change the gauges, and either go with a totally custom dash panel, and analog gauges. However, I might just want to keep the center info-gauges that show all the vital signs, and only change out the tack and speedometer. So my question is, is that possible? Or do I need to replace all of them if I do that? |
