Bucky92 Posted April 8, 2009 Share Posted April 8, 2009 (edited) :banana::banana: I put a new battery in my coupe and one of the 2 maybe digis that turbone sent me..one was a high mileage one..one was a low..put the high in and I have a working dash!!! ...ok the clock isnt working but the important stuff is. I can swap in anotgher clock ..or I will install the low mileage dash upon final install. I am soooooooooooooooooo Happy right now!. Just need to figure out this stupid weber so I can start the car without starter fluid. Putting on the new exhaust I got from edrach this weekend..and doing the rear disk swap..and and and... YAY!! big hurdle solved ( hopefully) I updated the alt to an XT6 one to help keep the voltage more regular.. hehehehehehehehehehehe my biggest problem and worry was that dash..and for the past 15 minutes we are good..:banana::banana::banana: doesnt even begin to cover my excitement Edited April 8, 2009 by Bucky92 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My brats engine case is laying in half, still at the machine shop with the pistons holding down a stack of receipts.:-\ The heads are still in Colorado, and the Cam is in the mail back from Washington! I have to fabricate a full 2" exhaust from cat-back ... and swap out my gas tank. After I get all this done next weekend, I can come up and give you a hand.

carfreak85 Posted April 8, 2009 Share Posted April 8, 2009 Knock on wood for you Connie... I'm stoked you found a working one, but I don't hold out much hope for Digi-dashes in the long run. Was this one you were able to repair (I remember you talking about being able to fix them) or was it just luck that it powered on? I'd like to get my original digi-dash back in, but unless someone can figure it out, I doubt that will ever go back in my car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mountaingoatgruff Posted April 8, 2009 Share Posted April 8, 2009 looks like the digi lacks alt and oil press gauges, or are they just hiding? seems like a helluva pita for less info anyways. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
derburger Posted April 8, 2009 Share Posted April 8, 2009 But... digi-dashes are super rad! Grandma's oldsmobile even had one too! My XT digidash has a digicar! That's much cooler than oil pressure or voltage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carfreak85 Posted April 8, 2009 Share Posted April 8, 2009 looks like the digi lacks alt and oil press gauges, or are they just hiding? seems like a helluva pita for less info anyways. Not available on the digi, and yes, huge PITA to keep them operational. More like black magic... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jerry DeMoss Posted April 8, 2009 Share Posted April 8, 2009 I agree digi dashes are really cool when working properly. The one I have in my turbo coupe was out of a higher mileage 2wd coupe also. Don't know why some stay working and some don't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bucky92 Posted April 8, 2009 Author Share Posted April 8, 2009 I wanted to digi to keep my car as original as possible. Plus I want everything to work without having to add a bunch of extra gauges. ( I want the doors open etc etc to work also). I also mentioned I updated the electrical charging system to keep it steadier and more reliable..thats what causes the digis to blow out the VR. Also , dont forget ..this car does not get driven ..maybe will be getting 1000 miles a year. Original digi will be cooler for the shows even if it is more boring then the xt digis . The only mods I am doing are just the rear disk swap and the weber...the disk brakes because its so easy and helps a ton..and the weber...well..cause the carter weber was junk but my weber has proved to be worse. I wish I wouldnt have tossed the carter weber and intake:-\ cause right now I cant afford to buy another weber.And the thought of carrying around a bottle of starter fluid and the 10 minute wait even on warm days to go anywhere..just isnt too apealing for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerry DeMoss Posted April 8, 2009 Share Posted April 8, 2009 Connie just send me your weber. No worries , I have plenty of extra stuff to get you going. I am thinking something could have gotten plugged up somehow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bucky92 Posted April 9, 2009 Author Share Posted April 9, 2009 Jerry..would you just want the carb or the whole intake? ( I am hoping just carb..dont feel like taking the intake off..hehehehe) and can you PM me your address again?? Neo and me will pull the carb this weekend..I need it there to run the car alittle after retorquing the heads and adjusting the valves ( have a little bit of noise on one side). But I am still happy to have the dash...I have an analog in waiting if needed but for once...something actually went right with the car.

Jerry DeMoss Posted April 9, 2009 Share Posted April 9, 2009 Ya just the carb is all I need. I am sending you a pm with address now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
