Plus, team, it depends on the year of your car and the year of the donor car... you have everything listed in your signature except the year of your car. ?

I replaced my idiot light cluster in my '84 with a gauge cluster from a '86 IROC and the only thing that I had to change was the oil sending unit. The tach works. Check out this tech article:
