stock tack

How hard to put in a stock dash with a tack? Will the wiring be different or would it be a plug and play? RB

I have a dash with tack out of an 89 BroncoII. It's got a cable speedo so I thought I would retain the truck speedo and use the B2 stuff. What is the chance that the wiring for a tack is there? And how many wires will need switched around? Can you get schematic's for the dash? RB

i just recently tried to put a tack gauge cluster from a 93 ford bronco into my 96 ford f250 without a tach. it made my alternator charge at 11.9 volts instead of 13.6 for some reason and threw a check engine light. however the tach was operational. don't know if that was the smartest thing ive ever done but my curiousity was going. it may be possible to change wiring pins around to make it work but its beyond me.

I guess I'll soon know. I'm going to give it a try. RB
