I ask because I have an '87 Duke also and the local service station has E85 (85% Ethanol summer, 70% winter) I want to try running as much as I can get away with on a stock engine.

if you run more Ethanol than E50 you will get problems on cold mornings .
Car will start normal but try to stall wenn u try to accellerate. It will do this for 2-4 minutes then it runs normal .
It will also drink more than normal if u go over the E50 concentration and it will smell like a alcoholic in coldstart.
sometimes i think iam able to recognise what alcohol i burn , smell changes from whiskey like to fruity smell

ok so im interested in doing this but does this specific BC use a wireless magnetic sensor? that way i dont have to rout wires through my cab and such? Also, the back light for the BC does it turn on also? I noticed that it would be fairly hard to read at night if not.
On other notes if it doesn't. would you be able to pull it apart and use the EL foil in the back to match the rest of the gauges?
Uhmmm lets see. pretty much i'm looking for flexible options for when i start doing a custom dash, I plan on making it some what like the GTO cluster, big tach and big mph, however if i can use this in the center that would be cool also.
Which also makes me curious to know if there would be anyway we could ingegrate all of this and make a HUD like the c4/5 corvettes had. i always liked that mainly because it ment i didn't have tomove my eyes away from the road and the fiero's gauge cluster is horrible.
Ive never pulled one apart but is there any real circuitry in it or are all of the bulbs just wired directly. if they are just wired in that opens up the ease of making a new gauge cluster and keeping all of the stock dummy lights.

the BC with the wireless sensors wont work well on cars , i tested a sigma 1601 but it only showed speeds up to 70 kph
i use the wired BC with the original bike sensor.
i had no problems getting that thin cable through my cab
this specific BC is not backlighted from factory , i backlighted or better sidelighted the 1st cluster with 2 LED ,
2nd Instrumentcluster display will be frontlighted by a micro LED[This message has been edited by Fieromaniac (edited 05-26-2007).]
