12v digital dash conversion

Hi, anybody know if a digital dash will fit an 87 gsi 12v, to replace normal analogue one, ie is the loom in place already? thanks Clive

Simple answer NO

Several have done Digital to analogue conversions and they are a PITA at the best of times but analogue to Digital - thats gonna be hell!!!

For starters the Oil pressure sender unit needs to be changed to even be able to get that part of the dash to potentialy work

On the older cars Monza's and Senator A's they are pretty much plug and play but Senator B's and equivilent Carltons I woundn't fancy it at all

Plenty of analogue dashes around if yours is broke - otherwise enjoy it - much nicer than a digital esp in sunlight

Gotta disagree there, dude - piece of wee wee, I thought!

Thanks to Mr. Cgaz's guide in the "How To......" section.

Hell Yeah!!!!!!!!

Plus the analogue is more reliable and accurate - downside being there's no voltmeter or oil prseeuse gauge. not that they were too accurate, more like ball park figures!

Got to admit my voltmeter on my old Senny used to scare the crap out of me every time I sat in traffic, used to watch it dropping below the 12v but when I checked the alternator with a multimeter all was fine, it was then that I realised that it couldn't be relied on for accuracy... just a bit of eye candy....

Also removed that smoked glass screen from mine as bright sunlight was a real problem, never understood why they did that...
