Sam, as I posted earlier this week, some late model clusters were available about 5 years ago. I put one in my '84. Old speedometer, odometer and cluster itself were bad or marginal. New cluster is in km not miles so if you haven't dealt with km could be a problem. At that time, a list member provided me with a wiring diagram to make every thing work. I had to rewire 14-pin connector that comes into cluster.
