I now have a 3 hole cluster and wanted something nicer looking. I got a 7 hole cluster from a guy and the plug in the back is different(missing the middle wire on the bottom five on bottom six on top) is there an easy way to fix this or am I screwed?


Help me!!!!! Thanks

i belive you have to rewire the plug. there should be a wiring diagram on gmcpauls website on what you need to change.

here's a link to the electrical FAQ section. It's covered in there. http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=345919
DO NOT try to just plug it in, and be VERY happy you didn't. I did years ago, and the end result sucked big time. My buddy was there and was laying in the dirt laughing when he saw the fuel guage sping a couple laps around before crapping out in a puff of smoke.

did you turn the key?
You may have already damaged some things.

whats goofy about the lights? Is the panel installed in the dash or just sitting in the hole? Does the fuel guage work?

The fuel gauge works however when you turn the lights on my fuel gauge drops my brights indicator is always on I'm going to try installing a new switch hopefully this fixes it and yes I have it installed
