Default '81 gauge question

Does this look like the right center gauge cluster for my '81? The previous owner put cheap autozone gauges in place of the factory ones so I dont have any thing to compare it to. thanks in advance.

Default Re: '81 gauge question (lason)

Those are the correct gauges for a 1978-81. There is a difference on
the color of the clock second hand between years red vs. orange.

You will also need the printed circuit board and it looks like this item
does not include it. I have seen other gauge clusters on e bay, that
were complete including the circuit board and bezel for around the same
price. So you may want to look further.
