Re: ULTRA gauge cluster (an2ny888)
Why would you want that ?
When you can try and make this, it's fully functional too with all warning signals and odometer.

i like it but dont see much point to having it. no instructions came with it? probably has power, ground, tach signal/distro, maybe so kind of output for shift light, not sure what else.

Re: (RTW DC2R)
I'm not sure that it is my cup of tea....
But I'm not here to judge, just help. If it follows any sort of "standard" wiring, then it's like this:
Your 2 red wires are power wires. One needs to be constant, and one needs to be accessory power. Constant will be to "save" your shift light settings. Accessory of course is so the tach gets power when you start the car. Which is which, you got me. If they are different gauges, the thicker red will be your constant power.
The black will be your chassis ground.
The blue is your tach signal. You can run it from the tach signal off of your cluster, or you can run it from your distributor. On late model R's, the signal comes from the ECU, so if you run it straight from your distributor, you'll get a more accurate signal.
The white wire is your illumination. You can wire it to power to have it always be on (gay and ricey) or you can find the actual illumination wire that turns the gauge lights on when your parking lots are on. Not sure on the color off the top of my head, but that is why you should use a wire tester. Also, I'd solder in some interconnects, so that you can make a disconnectable wire harness of sorts. That way if you sell the car, change your mind on the tach, or whatever, you can just disconnect it, but everything else will still work like stock.

Because one gauge is cheaper than 6?
Also the Ultra gauge is a stepping motor drive which makes it a lot more accurate than the stock unit.

If you're asking me... I haven't actually seen this before but would really like to get one also... you'll have to contact the OP regarding this...
