Hello Guys, I could use some advice / help . I have. 68 SS Impala with what I’d call the standard gauge cluster ( less tachometer ). I have seen SS Impalas with the upgrade gauge cluster and they just look so much better. Will my existing wire harness work with the upgraded cluster? Or do I need to locate a new wire harness ? Oh, I have the T- 400 trans. If that makes a difference. This project started with a scratched plastic lense and non working clock. Thanks for any help . Marty

There is a company that advertise on eBay and they can fix your clock . You pay android mail it to them and when it is fixed they will mail back to you .

Hi Marty, No. the dash, engine and front light harnesses are different. I believe there are 3 extra wires in the dash harness that go to the gauge cluster for the charge/ discharge, and tach. Dont forget the plastic oil line for the oil gauge too. Also the position of the wires in the plug are different. You will actually pay more for the harness than the cluster itself in most cases. I'm not sure but I think the Dakota Digital cluster somehow use the original harness. Don S
