I remember having trouble getting the cluster to go back into its location in the dash. The speedo and tach are deeper than originals and I vaguely remember them hitting a support brace under the dash. I didn't cut anything under the dash, so I'm not sure if anyone had problems like this or not.

would love to do it myself to save a lot of poka, but I have the 64 cluster (log one), so I need to get a new cluster. I've seen some on ebay out of plastic but they look very ugly. It's missing the chrome at the outside, otherwise I could live with them since I could put a layer of camera casign finish on it to match the rest of the car

Does anyone know which Ohms fuel sender we'll need for a 67 fastback?

as well you need to get the right parts. can't use electrical speedo, since the originalk is driven manually (with cable) . i like the phantom look, but don't
they have only rpm up to 10000 (instead of 8) and speedo to 160 instead of 120?

further i'd say you might have trouble with the gas gauge showing the right amount of fuel ...

If you don't mind the black gauges, check these out:
