HELP!! Truck won't start.
I have a 1979 bronco with 400. It won't start with the cluster hooked up. When I take the cluster off, nothing happens. would it have to do with the IVR (in-dash voltage regulator)?

I do have spark and i do have fuel. I checked all the wiring for the ignition system and they all seem fine. the battery is reading ok too. could it be that im grounding out with the cluster. ive tried jumping the battery, and jumping the starter but nothing happens when the cluster is hooked up. when its disconnected everything works fine.

That's weird, it does sound like a short. Do you have a wiring diagram on your truck? That will come in real handy. Trace the wires that lead to the ignition and to the starter solenoid. By the way, do your gauges work? Lights, measuring inst.?
