+1 on above except to add that there are two versions of that plug depending on whether you have idiot lights or gauges in your instrument cluster. The cluster shown above has idiot lights. Why do I say this? Because that large blank cover located over to the left of the cluster; remember you are looking at it from behind, is where the tachometer would be installed in a full gauge assembly. No tach usually means that the car came with idiot lights on the dash and that flat poly-sheet loaded with all those copper colored strips has them laid out in a different pattern than what you would see if the tach and gauges were there. To match this variation, the copper contact strips in that plug get moved around into a different pattern as well
Not to sidetrack from the OP but a question that goes with this.+1 on above except to add that there are two versions of that plug depending on whether you have idiot lights or gauges in your instrument cluster.

So other than gauges or idiot lights, is there anything else that changes through years or models that would affect interchangeability?
Do you know where I can easily find the information on how to do that?They can be swapped between years and yes with a change out of the wire locations the round clusters can be swapped into a Malibu/Malibu Classic/El Camino with the rectangular speedometer.
