Subject:Re: Need the ever-popular 85 Instrument Cluster with tach or just the Foil
From:mark drillock

The foil should match the plastic cluster 14 pin position and clock type.

80-84 analog clock foils have vertical 14 pin
85-91 analog clock have horizontal
84-91 tach w/ digital clock have horizontal
