You bet, I used the '94 part as well. As far as the tach, I checked the FSM wiring diagram before I made the swap and the tach signal line from the PCM is already there in the connector. The printed circuit foil on the back of the gauge cluster just routes it to the appropriate location for the tach.

BTW, be careful not to rip the circuit foil when your handling the cluster, it's fairly thin and a PITA to repair if you do...

Cheers.

So if I decide to switch out the factory cluster all I need is the other cluster with the gagues on it and the new sensors, direct swap in and plug everything back in?
