swapping analogue dash to digidash?

[Alan Kramer]

I swapped in a digidash from a CGT into my 4kq.  All I did was lop off the 
connector from the digidash wiring harness and the analog dash wiring 
harness.  About 60% of the wires matched color codes.  The rest, like the 
trip computer, I had to figure out using the bentley manual.  I also had to 
replace the speedo cable with electronic speed sender on the tranny.

The only problem I wasn't able to overcome is that the mpg reading on the 
digidash doesn't work properly.  The reason is because I can't figure out 
which wire going to the digidash is connected to the air flow potentiometer 
signal.  The one I think it is is for some reason missing in the digidash 
connector I have.

The whole project took about a day.
