87 dash
Hey guys, I've been thinking/posting about my dash giving me a problem. Now its taken out my cruise, and 1/2 of my gas guage. In fact yesterday at 5 oclock traffic on the 408 in orlando, Fl. I ran out of gas, the guage looked like it was at a half tank. Anyway its time to get it fixed. I need a good company to send it too. Or change to analog I've read somewhere that the analog kits now come with a componet so you can use cruise control.
Thanks alot for your input

Had mine done by forum member scarabexc, looks better than new after two years. He is very reasonable with a quick turnaround. PM him or give him a call 512-948-5900. His name is Gary and he dose exellent work. Bob

Gary is the man to go to. There are more companies out there as well but supporting a Forum member is the way to go.

When/if my dash ever gives me trouble (knock on wood) I will just convert it to analog. Here are some of the kits for doing so.

Don't get me wrong I do love my Atari dash, but a nice set of analogs is tough to beat... and with Auto Meter gauges should last a lifetime I am thinking.
Not cheap (and can maybe be found cheaper somewhere other than Corvette Central) but a mod worth the expense IMO.

Oh yeah, btw... what role does the dash have in affecting whether or not the cruise control works? My cruise gave out about a year ago... thought it was a fuse, but it wasn't... haven't spent much time trying to solve the problem because I don't use cruise much in town, but if it's tied to the dash somehow I'd like to know.
Thanks.
Thanks.
