Saw one in the for sale section and need to know if its a direct swap.
BTW, my formula has the 115 mph spedometer and this one is a 150.
Thanks in advance..

 

the LS1 cluster will fit, but the tach will be off.

 

No it wont

 

No it wont fit or no the tach wont be off?

 

The 1998 cluster is from a LS1 car. Your car is a 94 with a LT1. I'm 90% posative that it won't work because the electronics are too different between the different powertrains.

Typically when people do conversions to the more recent interiors in Camaros they use a 1997 cluster because it fits the new interior but is still set up electronically for a LT1.

Make sense?

 

most swaps are done from 98+ to 97 because the wiring is very similar, 94 might be going a bit too far back. The Cluster will fit, but you'll have to have an electrical engineer with you to figure out the wiring if you want anything to work.

 

The newer clusters will NOT fit. I tried a 97 (new style) in my 95. You need a 93-96 cluster.

 

He is talking about Trans Am/Firebird stuff not Camaros. I don't believe they will work as the wiring is different.

 

A friend of mine just put a 97 1/2(digital odometer) Trans Am cluster in his 94 Z28, so it can be done. I will double check with him as soon as possible to see if he had to do anything special to it. His wife just had a baby yesterday, so it may be a few days

 

I'd like to see pics and find out what he did. I don't think there is any way unless you do a dash swap. I have a 93 TA dash in my car so i'm running a TA cluster in my 95Z but i don't see how a TA cluster could be installed in a 93-96 Camaro dash.

 

There was a dash swap, but I lost sight of the original question in the thread. I have no idea if an LS1 cluster works in an LT1...although the LT1 had the same appearing digital cluster in the late 97 models as the LS1 has.
