The one I have goes in my 68 Coronet... Swaps, Ebay or Year One$$$$$$ 68 Chargers all had Rally dashes so it's an easier harness to find...

New from Year One around $550, used typically $75-$150ish, if you find a clean one I'd run it, most have burned connectors & cut/spliced wires...My original was crusty, I scored a super nice one at a Pick-N-Pull yard ten years ago when I didn't need one & when I tried selling at a swap nobody would give me $50.00 so I stuck it on the shelf & found this car that needed it..

Good luck finding one at a swap meet.
Make sure you check it out good before fitting.
The gauges are easily toasted............ i know i've done it

i think that i already have a problem, one of the 5 brass prongs on the back of the cluster, one of the prongs have broke off, can this be replaced or should i just try to solder myself?

We can fix it for you, or you can try to solder it yourself.

If you have another junk cluster around you can sometimes transplant a non-broken pin.

Sometimes you can put a piece of copper wire inside the broken pin, then solder from the back of the board to make it be strong again. The wire inside the pin will make a good place for solder to connect the broken piece to the piece still on the board.
