Someone will correct me if I'm wrong, but if you see a 1 1/4" connector pin under the blue foil going into the tachometer side of the cluster as opposed to the blue foil being pinned there, then it is a DOPS, Dual Oil Pressure Sensor, which adds an oil warning buzzer if pressure is too low at 2,000 rpm. That only came on 86+ clusters.
