So the tach should work fine with my 97 harness. Even if all the dummy lights are not correct, couldn't you just cut and solder the wires to the right connector so the CEL wouldn't come on when you turn your O/D off, etc.? Just a thought. So, the concensus appears to be that I should have no major problem installing a 98 cluster in my 97. Thanks for your help.
