        yeah, the one at the yard looked just like it would fit in there. it hat the three pods and all. tha main difference is on the dash right above the radio and that chrome strip where you have a simulated wood piece this one has a row of buttons to control the functions of the digi cluster. i'll pick it and the bottons up next tim i'm there, probably tomarrow. some one ripped the radio area up pretty bad trying to get the radio out so i'll see if i can find another one for you.

            If you're going to try and use the mesage center and fuel gauge portions, might as well leave them in the cluster and swap in the whole thing into the dash.

              allright '83tc i've got the digi dash that fits your car and and the buttons with the wood trim to go around them. i also got plenty of wire so it sould be easy to splice in to your car. the speedo is done with the speedometer cable is all you have to do is figure out where to aply powerto get it to light up.i would assume that the guys here can help with that. just e-mail me at raser13@yahoo.com and we will make arangments to get it to you!

                                Under the dash on the driver's side. Its mounted to the left of the radio on that "plate" to the right of the gas pedal. Its a big silver box with ginormous plug going into it. To make the message center work, you'll also need the massive wiring harness going from the brain to the tripminder buttons and to the display itself.
