Instrument cluster question
Bill,
I have a '77 F-350 CS. I've been trying to get my in-dash ammeter to work. Everything else works fine. Pulled the instrument cluster and chased the wires to the ribbon connector. They don't match the printed circuit locations on the instrument cluster for the ammeter. ... Here's the instr. cluster # D6TF10C956
Sure could use some help here.
Thanks,
Chuck

Bill: forgive this probably stupid comment but.... surely you have a voltmeter not an ammeter in your instrument cluster? It's been some months since I've looked at our '76 F250 instruments - is my memory failing? I wonder when Ford changed from Ammeters to Voltmeters was it the same time as the switch from generators to alternators (late 60s?)

Hi I was reading your post about your wiring the 1974 cluster and connector to a 1977 wiring harness I was wondering if you can share the information on how you wire it I just got a 1977 f100 and my cluster was coming apart and I went and bought another cluster form a 1974 I didn't know it was going to be differnt and I can't return it now I'm trying to wire the connector to the 1977 harness

Slow down, Guys! It can be done, but you are in for a lot of heartache. I did mine by using my existing 74 full guage cluster with a 77 harness out of my donor truck. The oil press works fine, but the ammeter has always read high since my GM alt. swap.
What I did was to take the 74 plug, cut off all the wires at about 10" and install spade connectors. On the 77 harness, I installed the spade receivers, and then I spent about 2 weeks tracing wires to figure out what each pin # on the circuit board did. You are fortunate that you are using the same year stuff. You can take the pins out of the 14 plug and reinsert them in the 18. They had different retainer clips for different years (I think) I can share my info with you if you want, but I am pretty sure that all my stuff is different since I didn't use anything 78.

14 Pin connector
Do you know where I can purchase a new 14 pin connector we are re wiring our F 100 and have changed the dash and need the 14 pin connector to complete the wiring
Thanks in advance
Thanks in advance
I know what you are trying to do. 
You want to pin the 18-pin connector with wires from the 14-pin harness.
I have answered at least 30 of these same threads
The 18 pin cluster uses a 18 pin printed circuit
The 14 pin uses 14 pin printed circuit .
It is that much Different that it is not interchangeable with the 18 pin system
You can't interchange them.
The sending units are different ..the ammeter wiring is different
You use one or the other.
By the Harness you have.
You want gauges ? get the 18pin gauge wiring harness.
You never said what year gauge cluster you got.
