A 76 or 77 gauge cluster (with a mechanical oil gauge & voltmeter) would be relatively easy to adapt ... you'd only have to change a couple wires to switch from an ammeter to the voltmeter. And in some cases a wire for the brake warning light.

More significant changes were made to the cluster plug pin-out when these clusters were changed over to electric oil pressure gauges.
Would it be impossible though? The 81 - 87 clusters are readily available and reasonable in price.
