Freak, thanks for the input and the picture. I'd love to see the back side of your instrument cluster (please don't read into that comment...HA!). I know you don't want to pull out the cluster...but...if you get crazy one day and want to do that and take pictures, that'd be awesome. Your 90 cluster doesn't have a tach though, right?
Zukimoo, so, you're telling me that your 88.5 cluster had male connectors too?! I'd like to see a picture of that. Did your 88.5 have a wire harness with male or female connectors for the instrument cluster? Your comments have really got me interested! And, no, I'm looking for a 88.5 instrument cluster with a tachometer...with female connector ports to plug into the two male connectors from my wire harness!
