I have an 1985 camaro 2.8L with a 5 speed manual tranny. I need a new gauge cluster and have a few questions about switching them out and compatibility. The only gauge that is working is the fuel gauge which is on the right. For some reason the speedometer doesn't work but it is still calculating the car's mileage...I thought they worked together. Then it has the three small gauge faces (temp, volt meter, and oil pressure) in the middle but no gauges behind the panel, seems they have been broken out and the faces were taped to that back of the mounting plate. I cannot find the same layout for a cluster as mine b/c it doesn't have a tach. I would like to get the standard guage cluster with the tach and oil pressure on the right and the fuel in the top as opposed to mine. I was wondering if the car was wired to have that one just plugged in or do i need the same one and an aftermarket tach. Also how do I remove the cluster, I couldn't seem to pull it out. Thanks for anyone that can help

there is a black wire behind the gauges for the power to the gauges,spedometer cable holding it in and a few other little wires
