71-74 Rallye Cluster

[mrsnicks]

I want to put a rallye cluster in my 71 Charger and had a couple questions.

Will all 71 -74 Charger rallye clusters work in a 71?

Did the Clusters come with both 2 speed and 3 speed wiper switches, or were they all 3 speed?

Do I have to get a Rallye Cluster wiring harness or can mine be modified?

Anyone making repops of the cluster lenses?

Thanks,
Patrick

Do I have to get a Rallye Cluster wiring harness or can mine be modified? you need a rallye harness

Anyone making repops of the cluster lenses? NO
someone was, but they fell off the face of the earth

Thanks,

the differance between 71-3 is the wiper switch and its mounting is specific to each year
they made many differant switches thruout the years
74 has a differant face bezel

I'm currently building a conversion harness set for a non-rallye harness to fit a rallye gauge pod.

So far the biggest bitch has been the pins for the round central circuit board connector.

I'm trying to build it so you don't have to cut any wires.

Today, I lucked into a circuit board from a 73-ish van. Cost next to nothing.
I think I can get the pins out easily, and then use one to size match for stand ins.

UPDATE:

I got the Rallye cluster installed. The one I purchased still had some of the factory harness on it. they had just cut the wires. So I bought a 14 pin connector from ebay, cut the round plug from my standard cluster harness and matched up the colors in the 14 pin connector. I then lengthened the harness for the wiper switch so it would be long enough to each the other side.

It was a partial success..

Here are the parts that were not a success.

1. Tach needle will sometimes stick at higher rpms and not come down until I rev it up past that point. Can this be lubricated? Is the Tach gauge toast?
2. The fuel gauge, oil pressure gauge and temp gauge are not working.

Yes the temp gauge worked before the swap. No the fuel gauge did not. Yes I changed the sending unit to one for a gauge and not the light. I assume the voltage limiter is bad. I've ordered a sold state replacement.

Anything else it could be that would affect all 3 gauges?

Thanks,

Patrick

71 wiper switches are 1 year only. 72-4 are the same. 71 was variable and 72-4 was 3-spd or 71-4 could have a 2-spd.
Probably have a bad gauge voltage limiter on the back of the cluster.
Might get a new circuit board from Real Time for the tach.

Bought a new solid state voltage limiter and installed. All 3 gauges work now. We'll see how accurate they are soon.

Sure is nice to have a moving fuel gauge needle.
