You are correct about the HEI dizzy working, and you and others are correct for the swap if the origional is a full gauge dash. If your origional has just the idiot lights, you need to change the wiring.
GMC Paul's web-site has a tech tip, part-way down the page on how to do it.

Numberone son bought a used dash unit that we had to go thru, combining parts/gauges from 3 different dash units to get to it to work. I think someone just plugged the dash to the unchanged wiring....hoping it would work.....and let the 'smoke' out of the gauges.
