Wow, that last picture sucks.... You get the idea though....
Found this on electic gauge calibration. That's tomorrows project.

I did this with my tach. After messing with the stock tach way to much I could not get it to work with my sawp. I used an autoguage tack removed it from its housing and was able to mount it in the cluster and run the wires out tapping into the power and ground screws on the cluster without ever having to cut the circuit board and it uses the factory back lighting and works well. This one also has a shift light built in that I extended the wires to the dash for the adjustment ****. After seeing this I should have done my oil pressure gauge at the same time.

*did some more reading. I already have the lighting wiring wrong. Need to use the ground and the +12 from the lights since the ground it what is switched.

Yeah, you need to run both bulb leads to the dimmer circuit, otherwise the bulb will dim in reverse to where you set the dimmer. I just checked a spare cluster, and unfortunately none of the screw terminals go to the backlight circuit. So you will need to either tap into the wire harness, or solder directly to the flexible circuit board. It's not hard, you just need a very light touch. Obviously you can't keep the soldering iron in contact long, but tinning the connection first helps.
