I think that's it. With the cluster you should get a oil pressure switch, which is located under the inlet manifold. The tachometer wire is hanging loose at the top left hand side of the engine bay. Run a wire from this through to the back of the cluster and it goes into one of the pins at the bottom. I can't remember exactly which one, because it's probably 4 years ago that I did this.
It's a pretty easy job. Good luck with it. Ash

tachometer wire is pink with blue stripe, and the oil pressure switch is located about 2 inches above the oil filter. if you buy a sports dash, itll set u back around $47 from a wrecker. and if you need an oil pressure switch, it wont come with the purchase of the instrument cluster.

Is that all they're worth these days? I remember paying about $120 back in the day...
