cluster swap

[neuspeedescort]

yes i searched for this but it didn't yield anything from what i used as a description. so here is the deal im getting a 323 hb this week as a parts runner/get me around when things are not 100% car seems the gtx is having issues. can i swap the tach cluster into the none tach cluster car with no issues? i know the escorts with out it it will not work. it needs rewiring or just and after market oen slapped in. i just want to know so i can buy a cheap tach or just swap out a cluster from the JY for the same price.

thanks

yes, you can swap in a 92-94 protege dx gauge cluster w/ a 6k redline, or a 90-90 lx cluster w/ a 7k redline.

that thread did come up in my search but i figured it was the legendary suspenion post he has posted on all the sites. so i just disregarded it. call me lazy i guess. thanks for the help i know where to get a cluster now. its like 20 bucks hope the miles are somewhere close.
