'81 Gauge cluster wiring diagram ???
I have an '81 that is having gauge problems and I'm going to replace the stock ones with Autometer gauges. Does anyone have a link to a wiring diagram of the 12-pin connector that plugs into the back of the gauge cluster? Thanks.

Thanks for the link but I couldn't get the instruction download to work. I am going to install the Ultra Lite gauges and really could use a diagram of that 12-pin connector.
FWIW...this site has been extremely informative. I'm no stranger to Corvettes as I own 2 1981s now. One is a drag car and my current project is going to be a daily cruiser.
Here's a link to my '81 race car:

Hey man, I literally just wired mine up tonight....(mine's a 79)....I used autometer designer black series gauges.....went with the same kind of gauges (oil press, water, volts, clock, fuel)
I figured the wires are almost 30 years old....so I went ahead and ran new wires for all of them....it took a little longer, but atleast I don't have to worry about them...(my engine compartment has also been caught on fire at one time too).....the only one I didn't run a new sender to was the fuel level....I ran out of wire at 11:30pm...so I just tapped into the stock....thank God that wire has never been on fire....atleast that i can tell....
just an idea....enjoy them and get some pics up when you're done!
