Default dash gauges hookup in non f-body ?

Where could i find a schematic of the dash hookup from an f-body ?
I'm planning on installing one in a non ls1 car.

Can the wires coming out of the gauges at the back be hooked up straight to the sensors and lightswitches ?

Is there no computer needed to let the dash work ?


thanks, Jeejee

I believe you can use a 93-97 (LT1 style) dash for a non-LS1 car. 98-02 Dash clusters use serial data from the ECM.
