Rallye Dash questions

[crahill39]

Hey,

My non-rallye dash in my 72 satellite is really torn up and I was thinking of going with a rallye replacement. I found this on ebay and wanted to know what you guys think about price and condition. Also does the dash frame need to be swapped out or is it standard for all dash clusters?

I'd try to find one that wasn't so rusty. The dash frame is the same but the harness is different. The light and wiper switches are also different. Be sure to get the right wiper switch, 2-sp, 3-sp or the early V-sp.

Yea, I would avoid that particular one, as it has clearly been exposed to too much moisture. There are two versions of the rallye cluster, with and without a tach or clock and slight variations over the four model years. If you end up not converting to a rallye cluster, I have pristine standard cluster from a 72'.

Also the 71 cluster won't accept the 72 and up wiper switch. Not sure if it is for 71 model year only or til 6/72 when the 3-sp replaced the V-sp.
72 and later, the wiper switch has a index knotch as where the 71 does not.
I say all this cuz I've seen alot of people do this conversion only to have non-working wipers til they finally find the correct switch that they need.

There are better available for a lot less. Every nut and bolt you can see is rusted and so will the insides of the gauges.

I would check with member Joel in the parts thread, he may have one, this looks like its been in the water looking at the temp gauge and all the connections..
