Help with '93 Instrument cluster

I found a complete instrument cluster w/tach at the salvage yard, but don't know if it's any good. I removed it, and when I tilt it backwards, the speedometer needle starts to free spin. When it's upside down, its reading middle of around 50mph, and when I sit back like it would sit in the dash, it's back down to 0. Tach needle or any other needle doesn't move. I just need to be sure before I buy it as they won't let me return it.

I want to swap it with my 302, '92 since it doesn't have a tach.

That is normal for it to do that.

Note also that you can swap your old speedometer and PSOM into the cluster as a unit and still have the same odometer reading as before.
