I’ve been trying to find out what wires I need to move to install a Monte ss cluster in my 81 Malibu. The one thing I found none of the numbers correspond to my harness.

So I switched all the pins and the gauges work. Just need to run a rack signal wire and cut a hole for my wiper switch and I should be good to go.

I got the cluster in tonight and actually bolted together. I still have to change the oil pressure and temp sensors on the engine and wire up the tach and filter. I also have to figure out how to get my trans indicator in because I mocked up my wiper switch without it on and it doesn’t fit. Some of the lights aren’t working so I’ll have to look into it. I checked all the bulbs and housings for continuity so they may just need to be wiggled around in the hole.
Also my turn signals are acting funny. The right side is fine but the left is really slow to flash and the indicator on the dash is out. Does the light on the dash have anything to do with the operation of the turn signal?

Took the car out tonight and the gauges that should work are working. Magically the turn signals are working properly now. I just have a bulb out on top because I can’t see the two gauges in the dark. I have to pull the cluster again to do the tach so I’ll tackle it then.
