1974 Mustang II Dash Wiring Repair & Update

(Last Updated On: )

In 2016 I also decided to redo a lot of the dash. The cluster cover was not correct and had a big hole in it, missing cluster plastic cover. No vents. Gauges in wrong areas. Bad wiring and interior lights not working.

I got a lot of parts from from Phil Schmidt at Mustang II Speciality Shop New Used Obsolete 1974-1978 Ford Mustang II Parts such as cluster plastic, cover, wire connectors, tach reducer and vents.

Here are the before pictures.

I decided to get rid of the custom tachometer that I had mounted to the steering column and go with the original tach. In order to do this I needed a tach reducer and a MSD tach adapter 8920. I don’t have the tach adapter yet but I did find a tach reducer and had that mounted in preparation. Also my dash cluster’s connector was broken so I had to get that replaced. I also had to replace the tach connector as that was not the correct one as well.

Here is it finally all done.
