It was probably disconnected for a reason and you'll have to diagnose that first.

BrianG I have the American Autowire Power 13 kit.

Hmmm guess I don't know with that kit. Might be worth a call to AAW. I've heard their customer service is really good.

BrianG there customer service is great. I have emailed them a few times asking them some questions and have always answered my questions. As a matter of fact I will be emailing again. One of the wires on the kit is mislabled I think. I can't find the 12V ignition wire. It's labeled ignition feed. I need the power wire for the distributor.

I rebuilt my cluster and installed a new circuit board and a new complete wire harness. But here is a question i have. Did you remove the printed circuit board wire plug? This would be the large plug that goes into the big hole on the back. Sorry if i am going overboard, just not sure if you know what i am referring about. This plug brings all the power and wires to the board and out. It really makes me wonder if they removed the plug and instead just direct wired the gauges.

88Stanger yes the cluster wiring plug was plugged in when I took it off. I ended up making a new plug for the dash cluster. I didn't like the looks of the old one.

Hi!
I just spotted you picture and that's what I am planning to do myself.
Did you just replace the wiring from AAW in the same order and collor?
