anybody know if an early (round) inst. panel will, or can be modified to work in an '80 model dash?

I thing it can be done. From what little knowlege I have about the dash's I think it would be easy. I am sure 800 will find this post and confirm.

Early models had oval inst panal and later one's had round.

the panel will physically fit, but i believe the early wiring is a little different... especially the 72 dash

yea, i meant oval. i thuoght it would fit but not sure about the connections. i also have some blue l.e.ds i would like to try to replace the clear bulbs with.

Physically it will fit right in, but the wiring may be an issue. I can check the connectors, I think they are actually the same connector, but there may be a wire or two that isn't in the same spot.

The 72 gauges look just about like the later stuff (pre-78), but are put in completely different. Each pod is a separate unit that goes into a backplate. The wiring is also totally different.
