    e digital dash has like 40 wires if its full digital, the analog runs somewhere around 19 pins. Coolcats has all the pinouts on the site somewhere...

    Its easiest to covert from the bas cluster (digi speedo only) to analog. You will have to get the correct cluster (85-86 tc cluster, then mod the tach to work with the v- or get a 87-88 analog cluster (88xr7 or 87-88 tbird sport without the "upgrade" to full digital cluster) and then change out every sending unit, plus the wiring changes.
