Default Speedo, Tach and cluster question

Alright i just picked up my 76 vette from my uncle not that long ago and i noticed the speedo works when i drive after alittle while but sticks most the time the tack doesnt even move nor do the instruments on the dash cluster work either. the lights work fine for all the them any recomendations to fix them? i already know that i will prolly have to check the wireing and also no fuse's have blown for them checked them all.

Do you have cruise control? If yes, the transducer might be your problem with the speedometer. If you do not have cruise, the cable or transmission cable gear is likely the problem. There are a few ways to check those things depending on if you have cruise or not.

Make sure everything is connected to the distributor cap properly. Also check your fuses.
