Will this work?

My dad showed me this today. His plan is if we can get it, we can take the instrument cluster out of this 1973 Satellite sedan and put it into our 1972 2 door Satellite. Also what is this starter thing that needs to be replaced? Where can I find one and how much is it?

Also do you think it's worth $500? Thank you.

If the cluster looks the same chances are it will interchange.

The primary ignition circuit is the small wires on the coil switched by the electronic control box on the firewall and triggered by the mag pickup in the distributor. Could be a variety of things wrong so do some investigation - check for voltage, loose wires, ballast resistor, etc...

Looks like it will interchange, also when I looked at the car it has power brakes which my car does not. Will that interchange? Probably no hopes of getting it running as the owner showed me that he has been replacing all the starter stuff with no luck and gave up and I wouldn't know where to start lol.

Power brakes should fit as well. Make sure you carefully look at everything involved. You should grab the MC with lines and combination valve as well.
