Can I put a 89-91 instrument cluster in my '86?

Just wondering if all the wiring and everything is the same, and if it would just plug in and work the same. I found one for real cheap and just like the looks of the S5 ones better. Thanks

Cool, thanks. I've been wondering the exact same thing! Thanks


One more thing. Is that all they are to it is moving those wires around? So it will all work correctly when those wires are resituated? If that's it I'm calling the salvage yard right now!

Nucklez and Rxmfn7,

Did you have luck making the 89+ gauges work?

Let me know

When I did the 89 swap in my 88, the wiring was completely different that what was posted at http://homepage.mac.com/carldavis/main/main.html .
Just look at wiring diagrams and be careful. In almost every case, all the wire colors were the same except for 1 or 2.
