All the instruments (except the mechanical speedo) are fed from the 7.5A METER fuse, along with the reverse lights and warning light cluster.

you must have forgotten to hook up a ground, triple check your grounds, and if that doesnt work you may want to juts do all new grounds.

Yes, the auto seatbelt system is fed by the METER fuse (and also the TURN fuse), but the radio isn't. If it's cutting in and out it won't be a fuse anyway.

You swapped a V8 into your FC, and you're asking us why the gauges don't work???
Are you serious???
