The electrical hook-ups for the gauges referenced in these instructions are provided for all years,
where there are differences the different years are indicated. For 5.0L cars, the pin numbers are
for 1990-1993 donor cars only! 1989 or earlier cars have different wire positions within the
gauge cluster plugs. If using an early donor, look-up the positions in a
Chilton’s manual. The
wire colors change between years so do not just look at the colors. The notation for the wires as
written in
Chilton’s are included in bold in the instructions to aid installation.

Using a 87-93 Mustang harness does not require the use of the Mustang white instrument pod.
However, familiarize yourself with the gray and brown plugs in the wiring harness that originally
plugged into the pod. You will be splicing into some of these wires. Not using the white pod
makes for a cleaner installation giving more room behind the dash for access and other items,
such a heater ducts, radios, or other items you may want to install.

See the individual gauge instructions for details on the gauge senders and calibration.
