Does it matter?

[*uwishn*]

i may be wrong though i think they are the same as Calais series 2 v8 dash??

Do a google search for vl walkinshaw bound to be a pic out there then just compare the two.

[NickVR]

It appears it maybe. But in saying that it may just be a later model Calais dash too.

walkys have the same dash as s2 calais

[siroller]

walkys have a different dash to any other vl.
aestheticcally it may loomk the same but they work in a different way with the efi.

so to do a efi conversion to a vl you need a custom dash or a walkinshaw dash.

the bit i'm not sure about is the revs. i think the walky has the orange and red for revs in a different place to the carby v8.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't the 6 cyl VL EFI?

[siroller]

yep rb30's were all 6cyl but the 6 and 8 dashs are different. its got to do with the revs and the speed and the rev warning areas if that makes sense

[siroller]

my old man has a walky and there are a few guys i know who have done conversions. the vl walky dash will work directly with an ef1 5.0l but the carby v8 dash's need some sort of adapter or a custom dash setup to make it work properly.

According to the parts book it's identical to a late 8 cyl Calais.
Assembly part number 92032202 for both.

interesting, maybe the speedo sender unit was different and thats where these urban myths i've been hearing are different? Wish i could view photos and ebay at work i'd get a snap of both.
