Repurpose dash?
This is going to sound absolutely sacrilege to some, but what would it take for me to repurpose this beautiful 80s dash into a full custom, non vette, build? I understand the dash was ran by a microprocessor? Does anyone have any idea at all how to make it work outside of a vette? Call me nuts but I’m building a 1 off ev and am looking for 80s tech influences and to be able to use this dash would be a dream.

Whichever would be easiest for me to figure out some sort of conversion to be honest, I'm not loyal to vss or ecm, just starting the research here to figure out if this is even possible.

The early ones are mostly fed off sensors. That would probably be the easier one to do. The MPG readout is done by the ECM though. But you could potentially make a dummy readout for range I suppose.... there is some info late in this thread on it.
