I tried a search but didn't come up with anything definite, if i get a dash and wiring harness out of a 71 montecarlo will I be able to bolt it in and screw the fuse block to the fire wall and go? I'm not sure if it's a idiot light cluster or a gauge cluster as I haven't gone to look at it yet, I do know its for a 3 speed standard on the column so no gear indicator , is there anything else I need to get from the donor car? thanks Jim

Yes, it's a direct drop in replacement. If it's a gauge dash you will need to add wiring to the forward lamp harness for the amp gauge.

If the car still has the column mounted back up light switch and the clutch start safety switch get them. Clutch/brake pedals, linkage, Z bar and firewall plate also.
