Now I'm really confused. I didn't get the speedo with the gauge cluster
(even if I could have been assured of a match) & Bob ADler has pointed out
that Chevy always used D-C for ammeter & not discreet values that GMC used
(I've seen 30-30 & 50-50). Does this mean I have a GMC cluster? I could
get some of the individual gauge numbers if this would better help answer
the question.
