Help: Guage Cluster

[d1nonlyjv43]

Hey, i have a 1996 cavalier 2.2l. im planning on hooking up but need help. I have a serius ? Some cars come with a guage cluster that has a tach n some dont . well mine dosent and i was wondering if i was to buy a aftermarket guage cluster that had a tach would it work or would i have to have some kind of special wire to hook to tach. plz help thanks- j

as far as the tach if you get a cluster with a tach thats cool and if you dot thats cool too. depends on what you want. the only thing is the odometer will be different. so write down what yours is now so you can do the math to figure out the correct miliage. all you have to do is plug it in and when you turn it on you have to wait while the key is in the on position the wait and turn it off then turn it back on

[Cavalier2000]

your have a digital od right, if so your miles will transfer over

naw mines not digital if i buy some glo guages my milage is ging to be set aat zero?

If all you want it for is the glow gauge, they sell gauges without the tach on eBay, may be a little harder to find but they are there. Just get one of those and hook up an after market tach.

thats the thing i saw them one time only on ebay without the tach n i said i was going to waait the next thing i knwo i dont see them anymore. i want da reverse gl guages but i also want to see da tach as well so what way should i go

No the glow guages are overlays, so it will still show the same milage. As far as the tac goes, I did the swap in my 01, and had no problems. It worked correctly upon plugging it in. I don't know how it will work on pre-00s though.

"Reverse glow" means that the numbers and such DONT light up, the entire background lights up like these...

Is this the kind you want?

[d1nonlyjv43]

naw the other ones i just order dont have a tach and the face is white n at night just the letters n numbers show up blue not da whole gauge cluster.. thanks...

anyone know where i can get the flo gauge layover for a 93 cav (no tach) And in kilometers, not miles. I've been searching forever!

[Lances133]

Best I could find, 91-94 cavalier glo gauge, no tach BUT in mph BUT there's also kmh, so I guess it depends on how picky you are.
