NEW! 03.03.08
I loved the touch screen LCD so much and the fully functional computer I decided to go go all out electronic.
So here are digital gauges installed.

They were made my 2001 Technologies Inc. which is now out of business. Internet rumors says they were bought by either Cyberdyne or Nordskog, neither company responded to my request for info, but IMO they look exactly like the Nordskogs, same speed sensor and everything.

When going digital you usually lose the "idiot lights" which is a problem in this car since the diagnostic check engine light is normally lost in the conversion. Not acceptable to me so I relocated all the "idiot lights" into the dash switch bezel.
To relocate the "idiot" lights, I simply left the stock light sockets in the cluster housing and soldered extenion wires to the tangs of the light sockets along with another light locket where the actual light bulb now goes. Here are some visuals of what I am talking about. These are just mock ups.

Also you should have noticed by now I went back to the original 82-84 gauge and dash switch bezel.
