Bro, bolts right in....i grabbed elko warrens 87 steering column of his BCT elko, and fit like a glove...just remove the steerring shaft...the four bolts that go into the firewall, and the two bolts that are under the column and its out, ...as for the wiring, take pics so that u know where it goes, but its pretty simple and everything falls into place...there are only i think like three plugs...

if u need help im always will to shoot out your way...you not to far from me south gate to LA, 10 mins :mrgreen: ....holla...
 
OMG!!!! Finally done with the gauges!!! What a day... In the dayum heat, sweating like a dog 😢 ...i got everything zipped tied, all the wires connected right & hidden nice, like a pro :rofl: , i had to calibrate the equus tach to the correct rpm, and that was a misson, i had a oil leak with the oil pressure gauge, fixed that... Ummmmmm had to drop the column again to put the speedcable & gauge cluster in, man oh man it was a long hot day with a 12 pack of Coors next to me!! Im just glad its done..tomorrow morning front seat belts, shouldnt be too hard, then window tint then color sand and buff in july..stay tuned..

Alittle dusty, when fully done will get full detailed:
