Need help with instrument cluster problem

Just bought a 87 iroc z28, have been working on it the last few days, the temp gauge, fuel gauge, oil pressure gauge does not work and the tach bounces when you start the engine, then pegs out...have tried to find the wiring schematics but with no luck. Is there any way to check to see if the cluster is good or should I go ahead and purchase another one. any help would be appericated

Checked the fuses, the fuses are good...I think I might have to buy a instrument cluster, know where I could get one that works for a good price/
