Title: Help changing from warning lights to gauges
Post by: 79ScottsdaleGuy on March 28, 2017, 12:33:26 pm

I have a 1979 scottsdale that came with idiot lights.  This is the truck my dad first owned that he bought brand new from dealership in 1979.  I tracked it down, bought it, and am now trying to restore it as a gift to give him.  However i would like to change from idiot lights to guages with tach. I have purchased new factory guages, bezel, housing, lens, small fuel guage, factory tach, tach harness, tach bracket, and printed circuit for a 1979 from   truck in order to perform this change over. I even ordered a new pc18 cluster connector and pins for it online but im looking for the wire diagrams to show me how to repin the connector from the factory wiring to make it work on the new cluster/printed circuit.  Any help would be amazing!
