Key matches the computer. Did you swap that out as well when you changed the computer?

this 95 doesnt have a chip in the key, but i am planning on installing the cluster with the computer today. i did this swap on my 2000gt and it fired right up. i did change the cluster, steering colum,and computer though. the guy i got this donor car from said it ran fine he just needed the engine for another mustang.
