And yes, gauge dash wiring is different from warning light wiring on all GM vehicles. Mid 80s bought a cluster with a tach for a friends '79 Cutlass and just stuck it in only changing the oil and temp sending units. It fried the tach.

To each his own. Those gauges look right in some trucks, like Day 2 builds.
