I dont know what year the guage set it on the top. My 1990 has BACKLIT guages so just the numbers glow, and that was really cool I thought (vs the front lit guage set I have in my 88, and you likely have in the 87.)
Did you ever work out the problems with loose/wrong connections for the cluster? I gave up on mine, after I found out how different they were. Not to say its not possible.

The delta is a major daily driver right now. Racking miles up on it like crazy. Haven't had time to really look into it. I think in time I'll just add a temperature gauge where the Delta 88 emblem thing is in the dash, don't really wanna fool with a whole lot. I'm gonna try and experiment with some LEDS in the cluster to see how that goes.
BTW, speedo on top is from a 1989 or 1990.

I only like subtle details, not ricing it out.

Brando - I was thinking about doing that a long time ago, but didnt know if the backlighting would illuminate it enough during the daytime. I think it would look real sharp.

I'm only doing that to the windows since limo tint all around is legal here.

87delta, thats kinda what I expected. It would have been nice to have the back-lit guages, but, I guess one must choose thier battles.

How do you go about doing that? I got the digital dash in my car, too , and with the blue interior I have, that would look so cool!!!

He outlines it here: http://www.oldsconnection.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=590Doesn't really explain how he did it, outside of talking about cellophane--did he just wrap that around the light bulbs? How did he get to the bulbs?
