PARTS: Mustang donor gauge cluster, black vinyl trim (FFR# 13990), dash electrical components
(FFR# 13327), misc. electrical components (FFR# 10975).
1. Remove the Mustang gauges from the white gauge pod with a small Torx screwdriver.
2. Cut the locating pins for the gauges off the white gauge pod so that the pod will lie flush against the
firewall when mounted.
3. Use an
/
" drill bit and a steady hand to enlarge the holes in the gauge connectors on the back of the
11
64
gauge pod. This will help the jumper pins that come with the kit to seat in the holes.
4. Attach the male pin connectors in the kit to one end of the wire extensions using a crimping tool.
5. Attach the blue wire connectors to the other end of the wire extensions using a crimping tool.
6. With a razor knife, cut the blue plastic on the female blue wire connectors that overhang so that the
metal part is flush with the end of the connector. This will give more contact area for the gauges to
grab.
7. Push the wire extensions into the enlarged holes on the gauge pod so that they are tight.
8. Tape the wires for each individual gauge together to help prevent them from pulling out.
9. Mark on the tape, which gauge each wire, goes to. The name of the gauge is written on the back of
the pod near each of the connectors.
10. Position the housing upside down and as far to the left as possible. More of the harness may have to
be pulled through the firewall to make sure the harness plugs reach the connections on the pod. You
can trim the corner nearest the steering shaft pillow block so that the housing is sitting over the
bearing bolt and closer to the left if the harness is too tight.
