Here I go again needing help (dash cluster)
I still haven't picked the truck up yet and will post pics as soon as I get it on Sunday or Monday.
I have found a dash cluster with a tach and a vacuum gauge. Again, being the non-mechanic, will the tach and vacuum gauge work on my truck? Will I need anything other than the replacement dash cluster? I keep finding things I want to buy for the truck. |

Re: Here I go again needing help (dash cluster)
The tachometer uses a separate wiring harness. They are readily available from many vendors. The vac. Gauge is mechanical and will need to be plumbed to a source on the intake manifold via a hard line, as a rubber line will collapse under vacuum.
