new project
Got my goodies, but it's from an 80, so need to read the tech thread again. Can't decide to put the whole cluster with the trip meter or just get the tach and put it in my cluster.

1981-up cluster will be marked with a prefix E1TF in the engineering number. Red Circut. (Sometimes fades to off brown)
1980 only cluster will be marked E0TF etc... Green Circut.
If it was mine, I would swap the shift indicator if it was broken or didn't match the transmission, paint the needles fluorecent red and plug it in.

Here's what I did, felt tip paint pen from Hobby Lobby, $6. I used a pop can tab to hold up the needles. Gear indicator will be fixed when I get a new cable. Last pic is what the motor is doing at 65mph, indicated 70. Need to fix the bulbs, some of the green caps got boogered so I have a mix now, I like the green better than the white.
Colors are a little washed out in the pic, the needles are bright flourescent orange.
