I'll try to make this quick.
I decided that I was going to install digital gauges using a camaro type gauge cluster. I needed cash so I put my 1977 lower dash, with speedo and tach on ebay. A week after it sold and shipped I came across a deal for corvette digital gauges that were a fraction of the new price and these were brand new.
Now I didnt have a lh lower dash or gauge pots to put these in. After making numerous bids on ebay I now have it all put back together. It doesn't fit.

My question.....Is the 77 gauges and lower dash different then say a 1974. I beleive the dash is from a 74 and the speedo is a 72 and the tach is a 75

I'm so frustrated.

By the looks of the ZIP catalog the 77 is a one year only for the gauge bezel.

Sorry, the link didn't work quite right. Type in gauge bezel in the search box and you should be able to go right to it. Looks like 72-76 are same, then 77, then 78-80.

I got it...A big hammer made it fit

No it just took a little wiggling



Thanks for the info though

That digital gauge conversion looks great! Nice job! about how much did it run you?

This setup should have been about $700 with all the sending units. I found a guy on ebay that sells them so I started writing E-mails to the peeps that bought them from him. 1 of the guys actually bought this setup for his 76 vette. He said he ended up not using them because he got his original gauges working again. I offered to buy them. I would have paid up to $500. He said how bout $300 shipping included. He overnighted them to me and they were all still in the sealed static baggy's, with warranty. It was one of the better deals I made. The speedo does 0-60 times 1/4 mile times and is capable of being calibrated for oversized tires.

BTW This setup is made by Norskog. Nice product. THe speedo and tach have led's and bar graphs. They have turn signals and e-brake light too. Norskog said when I get it all finished they want to get pics for there new flyer. We'll see.

very nice looking car, are you running tunnel ram or a blower like myself??

I love modified vette's. Do you have a clearer picture of that blower. I'd love to see it. Mines just a tunnelram, with a pair of 800 dual feed double pumpers.

I'll bet that big black rubber hose going to the front of the motor,is'nt the radiater hose,it's the fuel line going up to feed those 2 big monsters

almost.... I am runing 1/2" line though.
I should shoot a new picture. All my hoses are braided now, looks pretty. My motor is very sparkly and twinkly

Mine is a 78 with a full greenwood package 1969 468 stroker, I am currently having a bunch of custom work done . New paint - Candy apple blue, new interior, new stereo system super high efficiency stuff. I would love to put on a set of wheelie bars just for the look, but without a one piece driveshaft not sure how to accomplish that. The blower is a BDS 671 with twin 650 holleys, when I get the car back I will post some new pics. Was putting in the door kit an expensive proposition?
