Using a different year cluster?
I was just wondering if it was ok to use a gauge cluster from say an 88 in my 85. I tried one out in my car and I think it was from an 88, and it plugged right in and worked, I just wanted to see if anyone else has done this. By the way my car is an auto so i dont need the upshift light, but I think it would just stay off the whole time if the cluster has it.??

Bill Reid has an '84 Dash in his '85, if that works, I bet all years work. Obviously your "Upshift for best economy" won't work, but I bet everything else will.
Good luck.
