Default digital cluster to analog cluster?????

I recently had a fuel problem that I received some help with and I appreciate all the help. I did fix it,it was the injectors. I have a 93 S10 Blazer Tahoe LT with the 4.3 Vortec, My digital cluster is not working only the speedometer and occasionaly the odometer work. I have thought about swapping out the digital with an analog cluster, Is this possible and if so anything special I need to know about or is this not even possible. Please advise.[]

About the best way IMHO is to make a jumper to go from the new to old pin set up. You can go through all the trouble to repin the dash but if you ever wanna go back you have to do it all over again.

I have a similar issue with my dash, the speedometer and odometer are out. I heard that you can retouch the solder joints
on the board to fix them. That is what I'm going to try 1st, I like the digital panel and wouldn't think of replacing mine with
the analog unit as I had a '92 S10 p/u with analog guages. Sure it's maint free but really blah looking.

Bad solder joints and a weak power supply are common problems witht he first gen digi dashes so you might wanna check that first.
