It will fit in no worries. it will just plug in. the Tacho,battery,fuel and speedo will all work except for the oil pressure guage. that needs a sender unit from the engine bay or something lke that.

sorry bout last post accidently pushed enter. Anyway i tried putting in the new dash today. the fuel gauge and the tempreture gauge and the speedo worked. but the batter, oil pressure and rev counter didnt. I have realised that i dont have the wiring there to run the revs tacho. there is 3 terminals that need to run to the distributor i think to run the revs tacho. I dont wanna mess around with it though incase i fuck up and short the dash. Any ideas?

the oil pressure switch needs a sender on ur motor somewhere that connects to the plug near the washer bottle (one of the wires coming out of the plug that goes to dizzy, temp, oil light ect)
. u dont need any extra wires for the dash they are all interchangeable so u must have a bad connection from the dizzy some where. if u cant find it run a wire from the negative on the dizzy to the wire thats meant for the tacho on the dash plug and all should be good Smile
