Nononono...find out first.  Don't want to let the magic smoke
out.  Chances are high though that it's an '85 panel.  My Bentley's
out of reach or I'd tell you an easy pin to trace and see.

Bonus will be that the speedo is noticeably more accurate than the
'84, see the Bentley page on speedo calibration (somewhere in the
instrument panel section).

Neil, edge connectors like that will normally have all positions
filled with stubs so they don't scrub the plating (faster than usual)
off a mating plug that has a pin in the blank position.

Yours,
David
