Insturment Cluster Swap

Cluster swap

If you swap clusters, you have to transfer the circuit board off the back of your old cluster to the back of the new cluster. Car will then start and the miles on the odometer will be correct. Been there!

Its real easy to swap the circuit board though. I had the autometer one but I couldn't get a acurate reading from it. It was always like +10mph and said i was Idling at like 1100rmps which was bs. I expected it to work out of the box and I tried two of them.

I have the autometer gauge cluster, and I just compared the reading of its gauges to the digital odometer-test readout.

The speedometer gauge and the digital readout, and they differ by just 0.6 MPH.

The tachometer gauge and the digital readout are a bit worse, they differ by about 150 RPM. If I get ambitious someday, I might remove the bezel, and reposition the tach's needle by the 150 RPM to get it the same.

I never did this same comparison with the original, factory stock, cluster. So, I have no idea if this is better, worse, or the same.
