RX-3 tach/speedo cluster
While I was installing the new re-paded dash and re-painted metal portion in my 73 RX-3, I mixed up the instrument cluster with my spare parts. Im confused on which is which. So I need help

1. Cluster with a dimmer switch on left side and mileage reset between tach & speedo.

2. Same as above but without a dimmer switch.

TIA

they are interchangeable except for the dimmer switch. I guess next time, I should have explained it in K-1 level for you to understand. .

^Shoot Mel... shouldn't have said that. Now people are going to be lining up to drive one of Wacky's cars!

Better have some backup sober D.D.'s since someone is bound to show up with the Heines.
