    Hey guys,

    I have a question pertaining to "How do you install the insturmental cluster in a 77 mav? I know you have to connect the grey conection that has all the wires in it to the back of the cluster but what about the speed meter and fuel gauge does anything have to be conected to them?

    Connect the speedometer cable to the back of the gauge cluster as well. The fuel guage is part of that grey plug.

    ??

    Would the speedometer cable look like the connection you use to plug the ant in in the back of the old TV's? Sorry don't know much about mav's writting yet.

    It looks like the plug for an antenna for a CB radio...on the "cable" that is.

    Watch that speedo cable and make sure it goes all the way in to the speedometer or you will have to pull the cluster out again. Been there done that.:)
