Default Can I make these Guages work?

I don't know if this is in the wrong section, but is it possible to make these guages or some similar to work with my lsx swap I am working on for my 1971 Monte Carlo custom dash Im planning.

Thanks...

I don't have any definitive info for you, but I think they need to be programmed to your specific vehicle (under ordinary circumstances it would be a GTO). I don't know what they actually match it up to...but I assume it's something in the body control module or something. If you don't have that, then I don't think you can program the gauges to work.

I actually did transfer both the engine harness and dash harness into my car. They call it a dash harness, but it runs the fans, headlights, tail lights, blinkers, windows, gauges, ignition....everything. However, I didn't get anything that would be considered a body control module. Whatever controls the gauges...I don't think it's integrated into the dash harness.

If it's a 2005-06 GTO module............Read thru towards the end of this build thread.....all the info you need is in there......It's difficult, but it can be done....the 05-06 GTO cluster will require a little more effort to get rid of the ABS fault.....but....all the info is in the thread....The 04 cluster can have the fault programmed out....05-06 not so....
