protoge to 323 guage swap help

hey i wanna put an guage cluster from a lx protoge with the tach , to my 323. i found this guages in a junkyard for 20$. how hard would this be to hood up. also can i change mileage to my current mileage of my car. i know this so like a dumb thing but i've been wanting a tach and not a big aftermarket one. thanx.

What about putting an LX cluster into a DX? Should this just drop in, or would I have to run any wires?

Thumbs up

Good idea, I think that I will just take my cluster down to the junk yard and compare them. There are 2 salvage yards just down the street from my house with a pretty good selection of Pro's.

Was the tach wiring already in the 323?

What year Protege's clusters will work? What years have the 6000 rpm redline?
