Arrow LS2 for '88 IROC-Z

I'm just trying to find out how i can use the stock 3rd gen camaro gauges with a LS2/T56 swap. Has anybody done this? If so, how did you do it. From what i understand the ECM send a digital signal to the fuel level gauge. Is there a way to convert it? What about the rest of the gauges?

PCM doesn't send a signal for the fuel level....

your Oil, temp and volts will work just fine.

Tach can work with some setting changed in the PCM

Speedo on your car is an issue though, since it is cable driven. You will need a converter box. Check Hawks thirdgen for an adapter that'll get it working

good luck

Thats actually where i came from. I've already talked to those memebers and the big issue seems to be getting the fuel level gauge to work or the EVAP. Apparently no one has figured out how to use both? I came over here hoping that somebody here has.
