It's been awhile since I've looked at a 5 gauge cluster (I've sold the '65 GT and only am left with a '65 fastback), but it looks likeyou're missing the turn signal light and the voltage regulator.

[edit] looks like you're also missing the gauge light below the speedometer.

if the picture of the back of the cluster is upside down then I totally agree to what gothand says here
On the left hand side you have the bulb for the left indicator. trery to pull it out. Should be the same part as for right indicator and the other bulb mising

You need some light bulbs and a IVR (instrument voltage regulator). The IVR is pricey, but you need it. I think mine cost almost $40. Here is the IVR from mustangdepot, http://www.mustangdepot.com/OnLineCa...nt-voltage.htm Also check out NPD's site, I think I just saw something about a new solidstate IVR, I think.

Looks like a complete kit, and because there are no instructions I'd guess there is very little manufacturing invlolved, you could always give them a call and ask if they have instructions.

Here's what it takes to change your 3 gauge cluster (65 style) over to the 5 gauge dial cluster (66 style):

If you're wanting to go autometer and use the vacuum formed plastic gage holder - go check out Dallas Mustang.
