Ok, I searched the whole Electrical Tech section of the forum and not one, NOT ONE person wants to go from buttstuffog to digital. My brother has an '87 XR-7 and I love the way his guages look. I know if I ever wanted to swap (which is a long shot) that I need a few new senders. I'm more concerned with the tach being innaccurate. Is there anyway to recalibrate a digital tach?
buttstuffog FTW!
I made this conversion 3 years ago on My '85 bird, from buttstuffog guauges (except speedometer) to a full digital cluster, It's a little lot of job to do, I found the full info at the Eric coolcats website for the wiring.
And used a temp and oil sensor forom a salavged '89 Cougar V6, and a unknown fuel guage sender module (I guess it's from the same cougar).
The only thing don't work on My bird it's an instant economy feature, cauz it's a carbed engine I have, and never found the &**() fuel flow sensor for that.
This job is not very hard, but Looong if You want to do a great looking job, and a lot of Junkyard hunting.
After this it look and work great, I never regret this swap.

Dom.

Ok, thanks.
Yea I guess I could've searched a little more specific lol. I just searched cluster swap...
Again, this is just an idea at the moment. Sounds like a little work needs to be done.
Thanks for the input!
