I don't want to hijack your thread but I wanted to ask something related to this subject.

I have a DOHC 3.4 in my build with an OBD 1 computer. I was able to get my Fiero speedo working with an extra circut I found over in the Fiero forum. Does anyone know or tried using a different OEM speedo other than the Fiero?

The OEM Fiero speedometer is unique in that it is modular. Most OEM dashes are one piece. I would like to know which other companies have the modular form. Time for a junk yard trip. Smiley

Brasic, try looking into late 80's early 90's cavalier/sunbird  if I'm not mistaken they might have modular clusters

Any updates?  Thinking about yanking a Fiero instrument pod out of one of my donor fieros and take it back to Iraq with me to play around with your techniques.   Grin

I have two downloadable zip files, (one metric, one imperial). You can print it on matte photo paper and install over the Fiero gauges.
I added the horse and other graphics to make it look unique.

I finally had some time to work on this project again. I was working on upholstering the dash today and while I waited for the contact cement to dry, I would work on the instrument cluster. I cut out the tachometer and speedometer and loosely placed the stock Fiero gauges behind it. I still have a lot of sanding and finishing to go, but I am not convinced that this will work.

I used Fiero gauges with overlays and modified needles from a fiat 124. I just rotated my tach clockwise a liitle so it looked right when I mounted it to the pod. you can see the trip reset button under the speedo Smiley
