After using advanced cryptanalysis software, I believe I've discovered what's being asked...
Firebird13 currently has a dash cluster with no gauges except the speedometer and fuel. He is wanting to swap it out for a cluster with gauges (as pictured in his attachment) and is wondering how it would be to done and hard it might be. (at least, that's what I got from it...)
The swap itself is not very hard as long as you find a cluster and matching trim plate. One thing you'll need to know is if you have a cable operated speedometer or electric. Also, the idiot light senders (located on the motor) must be changed out for gauge senders. The cluster itself just 'plugs' in place of the old one (usually).

Deadbird-Can you send me a copy of your "cryptanalysis software"?
It would sure come in handy for me from time to time

Im gonna be swapping my dash out for autometers so I'm going to be doing a lot of sender wiring. I hate the stock speedo I have in my z-28. Its the one where they split the mph on the left and kph on the right and the needle is two sided. No one makes white face guages for it either .. lol
